How to make up with my daughters after periods of bipolar depression: [I Bipolar]

Is there more I can do to apologize to them?

My story:

I recently had a bipolar manic high that put me into the hospital for a month. This is my first incident since I was first diagnosed 20 yrs ago. Just the perfect storm of quarantine, lose of income, getting my car repossessed.

My daughters 15 & 12 and my son 10 were traumatized.

So as my kids were put in therapy with their mom (my ex wife) my daughters. put together over the years how sick I have been.

During the year I would have depressive episodes ( mania wasn't much of an issue) and my daughters said they were really angry for the times I was in bed most of the day and they had to take care of themselves.

I thought it was good enough when I told them "Dad's feeling low, I'm gonna sleep in today til afternoon" but it wasn't and I was wrong to treat them this way.

They are so angry and now they stopped living with me...after being at my place for 7 years for 3-4days week.

This is what I have been saying:

[b]"I'm sorry for lying to you when I was depressed and making you look after yourselves when you were just kids. I take responsibility for the pain this caused. Can you forgive me and trust me again?"[/b]

As kids they dont care I was mentally depressed, they just know they were hurt.

Help? its been 2 months now
