I have children and my heart is breaking for you. If your daughter has attempted suicide 22 times she's either very bad at it or has no real intention of killing herself but is screaming out for help. The conundrum is that she won't accept help when offered, and probably can't recognize a legitimate offer anyways.
Three years ago I lost my identical twin brother to suicide. Let me tell you if a person truely decides to do this they do it, no slip ups. Most suicides are depression related however not all people who are depressed commit suicide. The signs can be hard to see (let me tell you). I'm guessing that your daughter has drug and alcohol problems and that she'll never come to grips with her issues until she faces and at least attempts to gain control of these issues (again, this I know). A true desire to die is completely different then ambivilence or a lack of caring one way or the other(I remember feeling that way and sometimes still do).
I pray that you and your daughter will someday look back on these days and say "remember when..." I do know that you can't give up on her and I'm sure you wont.
I'll be thinking about you both, Paul
