Living in A World of Fear

Living in A World of Fear

Hello I doubt anyone can help but here goes.

I have Bi Polar, Anxiety and PTSD.

I also have a daughter who has Autism/Asperger's and has been diagnosed with schizo affect disorder ADHD and several other things so I'm not sure what her diagnosis is.

Since the age of 10 she has been a very angry person.

She has attacked me physically, kept me prisoner in my house, she removed my keys and phone from me and on more than one occasion I have had to flee the house or call the police. Recently I was in a safe house for a year and a half. When she was 18 she went to jail for holding me up at object point.

On Wednesday I went to visit her as she has Leukemia. She started talking to me aggressively so I said I was leaving. I turned to leave and she grabbed my jumper with such force it tore and I fell backwards hitting my head and falling to the ground. I ended up with whiplash and a badly bruised arm. I was lucky.

When I asked her to apologise over messenger she just lies and says it didn't happen. She will then often tell me she is sending the police and mental health to my house because I need help. My Bi Polar has been controlled for years.

I don't know what to do. I now fear for my life.

Re: Living in A World of Fear

Welcome to the forums @Peggy8 ..... 👋. Your situation sounds very hard to bear up under too. Have you contacted Carers Australia ? There may be respite opportunities that you are not aware of, and are you registered as your son's carer with Centrelink ? You may be eligible for Carer Support Benefit. Please only answer these questions here if you are comfortable, but perhaps the asking of them will provide you a new direction for support ...... and self-care is a very important counterweight, even if only holding a warm cup of tea between your hands ......

How did you go on Wednesday @M93, if you would like to share ?
