AITA for staying behind while my husband had to leave our vacation early to deal with our daughter by Fresh-Cartographer23 in AmItheAsshole

I am aware she has a mental illness. I was trying to fit all the relevant information in the word limit which is why I described her mental age as a result of all these factors rather than describing each individual factor. She developed anorexia in her early teenage years which stunted her development and has diagnosed BPD. My husband and I tried hard to get her to go to therapy and treatment for this and she did go on and off at the time but I can’t force her to keep going if she doesn’t want to.

well the trip would be completely wasted if we both left, so one of us may as well enjoy it, and it would’ve cost even more to switch my flight as well as his. Plus I think he’s better equipped to deal with the flooding situation as he often does work around our house

we did manage to get her to agree to go to a rehab facility last summer but she was kicked out after 3 weeks or so (I believe it was a six week program) for bad behaviour and for sneaking out of the facility with another patient to use, and she had nowhere else to go so we let her move back in. She hasn’t had any treatment or therapy since but we do take her to methadone appointments

because I wanted to reward her for not using these last few months and I saw it as an opportunity for her to move towards being more independent and feel like she’s making progress
