HelpMom53

 Hi, I am a 53 year old mother to a 20 year old bipolar daughter and I could sure use some help from someone out there who has been there, done that and found a way to get through it and still keep the sanity. I have been my daughters soft place to fall her whole life, when I should have been tougher on her and worked harder to be her advocate. I need to get her to a place in life where she is able to stand on her own and she is way to dependant on me. I can't convince her, she does not listen to me. In fact, she treats me like yesterdays garbage and I can't hardly stand it anymore. I know she needs me to help her, I can't put her out in the world like this, but I am so tired of the fight it takes every single day to try to help her. Any suggestions?
