[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 703774, member: 1550"] This sounds like more than bipolar. Sounds like drug addiction to me...unless she was always inclined to getting into trouble. Then she could have a personality disorder. Your younger child's safety and your own safety in my opinion have to come first. You took this adult child to a foreign country for treatment...I assume cutting edge and expensive. Two years. Even that didn't stick. You have done more for her than a Saint. What on earth can you rationally feel guilty about? You were her hero. But you can lead a horse to the best, purest water but you can't make him drink it. Same with your daughter. It is never easy to face that a child of ours is doing bad, dangerous stuff. We tend to ask what we did to cause it. Unless you espoused how great drug abuse is or sat on your daughter to force her to take drugs, you did nothing wrong at all. She is an adult and she alone decided to fly off the rails. Maybe jail will change her. I assume she has been in rehab before and didn't take advantage of it. I feel you did what you had to do to protect your younger daughter and yourself. We care and feel for you. We are all holding your hand for extra strength and support. [/QUOTE]
