My daughter suffers from PTSD and disassociation disorder and lately she has become physically and verbally violent with me and her brother who is 8 with ASD. She has threatened to kill me and her brother multiple times where um at the point that I have to leave the house with my son. The police have been involved and they threatened if I was to call again they'd report me to DCP and have my daughter put as ward of the state she has been in and out of hospital this year from threatening to kill herself and self harming. I'm scared as I do not know how to help her anymore she has CAMHS appts but doesnt attend them like she should I cannot make her, she wont let me talk to her counsellour without threatening me and I cannot make her do anything she will not listen to me and thinks everything I say to her is an attack. After her outbursts that can last from 15mins to 5 hours she acts like nothing has happened and apologises says she loves me and its calm until next time which could be the same day or 5 days later. My daughter was the apple of my eye and now I'm scared of her I cannot sleep as I'm very worried that she will do something either to herself or to me and her brother. I have very little support and she has driven a lot of my friends away and tries to control things I do I've lost jobs because of her issues and I'm finding it hard splitting myself between my 2 children. This has been escalating for approx 2-3 years but she has become physical with me in the past 6mths. She is defiant to anything I say but will work with others well. I'm ashamed of what is happening in my house I'm ashamed to go outside in case the neighbors see me because she screams histerically for hours on end with abuse and threats and I'm embarrassed of myself and that I'm failing as a mum. I have very little support into my 65 yr old mum that works full time and my daughter has been verbally abusing her aswell when my mum tried to support me. I have so much guilt because I am a single mum with 2 kids to 2 different fathers (my daughter has called me a **bleep** because of that) and I've made a lot of mistakes. I cannot tell anyone what's happening I'm just ashamed of myself. ... View more
