It’s time to let go.

I'm trying to distance but it's nearing meaning leaving our apartment. She tried to bust down the door on numerous occasions, threatened me with a cordless drill in the shower, and scratched up my arm with her fake nails she put on on halloween. And that's just this morning.
Right now she's texting and calling, telling me not to call, then trying to get me to pick up the phone and argue with her at work. She blames lack of intimacy one minute, then says I'm a liar/manipulator the next - funny since all I've done is spoken the truth in this scenario (not hard to do when you're ready to go). Considering calling a crisis hotline because today has not been easy and this is really raising my anxiety levels.
What's ****ed is she had "a session" with the APRN from the psychologist she belongs to and now that APRN is suggesting a book and filling in for her therapist because she seems to hate every one SHE picks and then wants to change a couple months later.
Her parents got dragged into this when we tried to have her committed last year. They drove up 5 hours to put her in behavioral health. Most peaceful 5 days I had in years. She started off doing the work. Now her parents are on HER side - or so she says - and is using them to manipulate me so she can control the narrative and drive a wedge between everyone. Seriously, I'm done, **** relationships, **** family.
