So many emotions and so many emotions pulling you in a million directions. One thing that took me a long time to realize is that my daughter knows better and can do better. So many of these mentally ill people surely know what they are doing. I felt like I was being kept hostage and tormented by my daughter. The intense emotions with just having a daughter get in the way. In my case, my daughter was a good child until she developed on set adult bipolar. I lost my precious little girl when bipolar took her over. It was like a death.. From a straight A student to one that did not give a F about anything not even herself. To watch this kind of destruction was harming me to the core. From parents and teachers telling me what a wonderful child I had to parents and teachers telling me what a demon she was. Painful is an understatement.  I know your love for your daughter is there strong or else you would not be on this forum trying to makes sense of something that simply does not make sense. I just pray your daughter can straighten herself out and soon so you can have much deserved rest. And the type of rest that you can get when you know your child is doing better. When my daughter acts awful and I have to pull away, I do pull away but my heart is not restful. I think it is part of being a parent. When I tried to get my daughter the right mental health I could not find anything. I made finding her help my full time job. It would be easier for others to help you if you fill out your profile with your childs age and any other information you want to share so others that have more experience that are further down the line can help you more. This group has been God sent to me and hope you get as much good out of it as I did. Love you all.</blockquote>
