[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 763248, member: 4152"] We are in some ways a similar situation in our household. We just couldn’t do it anymore. The extreme poor choices snd “neediness” fir lack of a better word of our adult daughter with bipolar disorder eventually became too much. We’ve been very badly hurt and are now burned out. We do help her minimally with a cell phone and some medical needs. This is how we’ve chosen to deal with. We are considering sending her a practical gift certificate for her birthdays and at Christmas. But interaction with her is often difficult as she can get weird and manipulative…so even that we are not certain. Again, this is simply an example of how we have chosen to limit our interaction but help her minimally. Otherwise it’s just too “problematic” to put it very simply and very mildly. It is a very painful reality we are stuck in. We are doing the very best to move forward with our lives. Boundaries are crucial. I have found prayer comforting. Sending good thoughts for wisdom and strength. I do understand. [/QUOTE]
