Should I worry?

My daughter is becoming increasingly unstable, I think. She accuses me of things I didn't do, denies things she does do claiming it's me who does them. She's told me more than once she's going to have me put away because I'm crazy. I usually ignore her threats. But, tonight is bothering me a lot more. She says she's going to kill both of us because she doesn't have anything to live for. Or she'll kill me in my sleep and get away with it because no one will miss me. I can't afford to report her. I have no family left here and the waiting lists for housing are years long. But, dare I ignore her? These are the same things her father used to say to me, that he could kill me and no one would find my body. I divorced him 31 years ago to get away from him and to get my kids away from the constant potential for violence. I feel as helpless right now as I did with him before I got strong enough to get out. My income prospects are far worse now that I'm older and disabled. I'm at a loss on what viable steps to take next. I know you all can't help me, but I needed somewhere to let it out. I can't tell either of my close friends because telling them anything is like using a public address system. I needed to tell someone.

I will be blunt cause your post has me deeply worried. Contact somebody. A minister in a church, go to the senior center if you have to, find a counselor there, women's shelter for a counselor, a doctor. Go now. Get out of there. Please take care of you. You are important and you are worth every effort. Please do this for you. Please.

You need to to get help for your daughter in some way. Report to state department or call them and ask for advice? It doesn't sound like a safe or good thing to be close to her right now physically. Good luck.

She sounds dangerous and she might do what she says. You need to protect yourself. Tell people you can trust about this.

So sorry to hear. You can try to take her to a psychiatrist or if that's not possible. Try to talk with her calmly or get anyone close to her talk about it, may be a relative or her friend. I just hope everything turns out fine. Take care
