[QUOTE="newstart, post: 722396, member: 22416"] Hi Gail, I am praying for you and send you strength through prayer. I was a push over to my bipolar daughter for many years. I kept taking her abuse because I had no idea how to make it stop. By asking her to leave and by not letting her move back in with me, it told her I was done with her crap. My daughter is now 35. We had a few months where I thought she had straighten out but in reality she just became better and more clever on how she can rip me off. My daughter is very intelligent so her ways of ripping me off are things I have never thought about. So in my mind, she is intelligent enough to find elaborate ways on how to steal from me, she is intelligent enough to make things work out for herself. I know how hard this is and it is so hurting to the bone. I looked in the mirror today and I do not recognize the woman I see, my daughter has beat me down again but this time I do have a plan and the loss will not be as bad because I have set plan B. It seems I have to be in a confrence with God daily to find ways to protect myself from a preditor that I love but need to disconnect from. To think I gave birth to a person that thinks it is ok to do what she does is beyond me. I keep telling myself that we are not all perfect, that we all make mistakes but her mistakes are gut wrentching. [/QUOTE]
