I talked to a friend once who had a counseling psychology background (retired) about a person i had become friends with..a neighbor who ended up in my life more often than i wanted who exhibited behaviour that just doesnt come across as a normal well adjusted adult with self confidence, kindness and love for their fellow human being.
I had gone on line to decipher just what her problem was, even bought a book on how to understand people with the myriad of mental illnesses or disabilitys.
I thought I had narrowed it down but the more I read, the more confused I became. The lot of them began to sound like they all had the same symptoms.

My friend told me that yes, many sport all the same symptoms except one or two which you may not have been privy to seen displayed yet. It can take even a specialist a long time of counsseling to determine exactly what the persons problems are.
I am a mom too. I currently have a daughter in a relationship with a guy who suffers from multiple things but since I have never met him, just heard her description, I can't be sure. I also come from an abusive 1st marriage. the ex had some mental issues from childhood that caused his destructive mental health issues which caused me to eventually leave the marriage.
There's always enough to love about such a person but it always ends up becoming a cycle of abusive, apologizing, the make up or honeymoon period, all goes well for a while until pressure builds up and it repeats going to the next outbreak.
I understand your issues being fearful as a mother. My mom was for me too but couldn't talk me into leaving my husband. I was in the church at the time and trusting God to heal my marriage in a church where I was taught divorce was not acceptable. I stayed 30 yrs before I left.
Age has nothing to do with the kind of symptoms you'd see in a person suffering from any mental issues. I can say that my ex got slowly worse over the years. The same for a neighbor lady friend of mine. Her husband got worse over time.

The deal here is that your daughter is an adult, doesnt matter if the adult daughter is in her 20;s or 50's, either way...no one can tell her what to do, point out what we see. Until she's ready to hear, one can talk til their blue in the face and she wont receive it. God gave us all free will. So it must be her that initiates the desire to leave, the strength to leave after she wakes up to the truth. This change must come from within. I know its hard as a mom to sit back and watch a loved one in a relationship with a man who is less than perfect, whether he is just the average guy with too much of a temper sometimes or whether the guy has severe mental issues that have a label to them.
I have read that narcissistic and bi polar people, though they may end up in relationships, the severity of the illness is such that no matter how hard the other partner tries because they love em, the relationship always is killed and ends.
The only thing you can do, the same as I am doing for my daughters, is pray that God or their angels get through to them...imagine sending extra power to the angels or praying for gOD to get thru to your child because that is the only thing we can do.
