Sorry, this is going be long!
Hello, I am a 68 year old woman with multiple health problems and I live with my 31 year old daughter. My daughter has complex mental health problems and has attempted suicide many times. I try my best to look after her , but have suffered a lot of abuse, both physical and mental. The mental abuse occurs on a daily basis. I am in constant pain from spinal degeneration and arthritis.
I have now reached the point where I cannot cope anymore.my daughter will no longer seek help for her problems. I would like to move out and live somewhere where I can take my little dog with me, but I don’t know where to start. Is there anyone who can help me? I have considered suicide myself many times.
My dd has decided that everything is my fault, and that I don't validate her feelings. Her father was an alcoholic and it took me too long to leave him. I blame myself for that. One one occasion he attacked me and this seems to be the cause of her cptsd.
