[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. It is not easy. My mom has not been difficult at all lately, but she has breast cancer and had a surgery and now has chemo and it is emotionally difficult. My 19 year old, with adhd, has decided she is bipolar and is using her "depression" to make my life a living hell. I keep quiet, as maybe she does have depression and all, but she traveled to Minnesota to be with the friend!! and her group and I told me she is mentally healthy there, it is just me here! And she bad mouths me to every single person! I am not abusive at all. If I have to hear one more thing about her listening to her cosmic masters and buying crystals I will scream![/quote]
Well if she has depression, she should be seeing a therapist.  Is she seeing a therapist?
My DD (with very mild adhd) told me she had adhd back when she was 15.  I ended up taking her to a really good CBT (cognitive behavior) therapist, who really helped her learn skills to navigate anxiety, depression, and her adhd.  As a bonus, OP, it gives the teen someone other than you to pour all their negative energy into.  So it reduced the "living hell" aspect to "minor hell."[/quote]
