[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 699664, member: 1550"] Hi there and I'm sorry for this. I have mood disorder myself, controlled well on medication. Bipolar is quite treatable. If your daughter refuses treatment then essentially she is untreated bipolar due to her own choice. I don't know if funding her non compliance is good for her. Each manic and depressive cycle ingrains itself further on the brain. The cycling needs to be treated or it gets worse. Is your daughter on SSI? She can get it for bipolar and in my opinion that makes more sense than you feeling you must support her all her life. Most people with treated bipolar are productively working. It discourages her from getting proper treatment if you support her financially. And those highs and lows need to be treated. I am sorry your daughter is mentally ill. Bipolar, other mood disorders and anxiety disorders are no longer untreatable. Good therapy helps the medications. Excerise helps the body and mind both. She needs a treatment plan and your retirement money won't make her bipolar improve. Sometimes the money we hand out is to assuage our guilt, not help our adult children. It is our easy way of our feeling better, but doesn't help them get better. But it is hard to stop thinking if we let go, they will fall and feel unloved. Money isn't love. Emotional support is love. On their side, respect is love. Treating us like crap is not love, mentally ill or not. She isnt.psychotic so she knows what she is saying and what it means. I hope you can find peace today. You do not need to worry about and take care of non compliant adult daughter forever. She alone can help herself. You cant. Hugs for another hurting heart. [/QUOTE]
