There's no reason for you to beat yourself up because you didn't see the signs. I am also bipolar, and I was diagnosed about 20 years ago. It is hard enough to deal with teenagers with their moods, attitudes, downright argumentative behavior, that it is very difficult to see the signs of being bipolar. The important thing is that now that your daughter has been diagnosed, she will be able to start treatment, and you can take your 15 year old to be evaluated. We, as parents, don't have to be perfect in everything we do, but we do have to be human. Let go of what has happened in the past, and just go from here. Your daughter will need you to help her understand what her condition is all about. I wish you the best.
