Desperately need help with bipolar daughters false memories

My daughter was molested between the ages of 5 - 12 of age, while visiting her father on his court order child visitation. She finally told me when she was 12 yrs old, and I went to the police immediately and turned him in. He admitted it and got a year in jail. He never saw her again until she was in her twenties and tried to have a relationship with him, but it went bad and she has not spoken to him since. She has had two previous breaks with reality and and once was hospitalized. She is 42 years old and she confided in me that she and her new husband had been taking black market painkillers. I knew something was amiss but could never put my finger on it. They just recently opened a new business and both were under a lot of stress and I assumed that was the problem. Wow i was so wrong, apparently because of the pain killer addiction, she decided to start taking a OTC "herb" called Kratom to detox off of the pain killers, but she was doing them together, which made her very erratic and she started loosing a lot of weight, and and then her mania went full blown. She also has been doing meth. Which really put her over the edge. She claims that she is going to a therapist, but I am not sure if I can believe her, she started accusing my deceased ex husband of molesting her and now she is accusing me of being involved in some ritualistic, child molestation group. I am stunned and heartbroken at her claims, and am trying to not blame her, because i know that it drug induced and that she is mentally ill, but i am at my wits end, i had to block her from my phone last night, because she send me terrible text and threatens me. i am at my wits end. I am heartbroken, alone and lost and am wondering if there is any help out here for this. Heartbroken in Oregon

I am so sorry about the situation with your daughter- when you are faced with things like this it's just impossible to understand and hurt doesn't even begin to describe how you are feeling.  

I'd really recommend going to a group for family/friends of addicts- they are really helpful and also help you to know that you are not alone.  The one I know of is Nar-Anon Family Groups- here's a link to their site-
http://www.nar-anon.org/

Most people in a group like that are going to know exactly what you are going through- and while they can't solve it, you will have someone to walk through it with.  The Addiction: Living with an Addict forum may be helpful as well- http://www.medhelp.org/forums/Addiction-Living-with-an-Addict/show/1176

Since she has bipolar and addiction issues, it might be hard to sort through what's the root of her actions, so both resources are good to have.  

I hope that helps some!
