I am feeling guilty because my daughter has been diagnosed with it.

I'm sorry for both you and your daughter, BUT guilt is not going to do anything positive for your health or hers. Maybe try to see it as something that will deepen your bond? Thank goodness she has you to talk to, ask questions of, etc. While there is a hereditary component (8 times greater chance of developing it), there are other factors, too - as I'm betting you're aware of - environmental triggers (such as infections, trauma, or stress). Please be nice to yourself!
