Suggest Treatment For Bipolar Disorder

I have a 43-year old, bi-polar and mildly schizophrenic daughter, living next door. We try to support her and help her, emotionally and financially, however she goes on tirades and screams at my husband (her step-father). She doesn't scream at me because I know what not to say to her. My husband speaks his mind and that infuriates her. I feel like she's ruining my life and my 24-year marriage. any help that I suggest is met with excuses. I feel like we need to distance ourselves and let her find her way without any help from us. It's my birthday soon and I don't want any party, dinner or anything. I feel like my family is ruined by her bad behavior and the impending fear of more bad behavior if we interact with her. I'm a lost and tearful mother and a wife torn.
