Daughter diagnosed with BP disorder in late 30 s. She is now 54. I am her Mother 74. I ve dealt with her disorder for years alone. She has been on medication and has been seeing a psychiatrist. . We have good times, bad times. Often, a crisis. I help her during the crisis. I feel little appreciation for my assistance. Done research re: sociopaths/vs psychopaths. I feel I am being manipulated. She has little regard for my feelings. Been her support person for years. She has the UPS/DOWNS. Simply, don t understand. Have made an appointment to see a psychiatrist to seek help for myself. Don t know what TO DO, OR NOT TO DO. We only have each other. No other family members.
