I can't handle all of the stress I'm under. My sister who, according to my therapist, is a literal psychopath (in the clinical sense, not in the colloquial sense) has been making threats that she is going to kill me and the rest of my family. There's nothing I can do to keep myself or my family safe. The police won't do anything until she actually does physically hurt or kill someone. There's nowhere else for us to go due to financial troubles. I never sleep because I'm afraid she's going to kill me if I do. Neither does my other sister. We just sit in our bedrooms all night texting one another how afraid we are to leave to go pee or get food. The sister making the threats has been acting very suspicious, sitting in the kitchen in the dark on the computer all night long, getting up every hour or so to go walk around in the woods behind our house for a while. She never went into the woods before until she started making the threats. Something is up.

I just want to see my therapist to vent about how scared and on-edge I am. I know he can't fix the situation for me, but it would at least be nice to feel like someone cares seeing how right now it feels like literally no one cares if I die. The cops don't care. My father doesn't care (I told him that if someone is threatening to murder your family, you need to not let them live in your home, and he won't take her threats seriously). No one cares.

I guess I just wanted to vent since I can't do it to my therapist.

You can vent here....I can't imagine what that feels like. Is your sister getting any professional help at all?

I care!

Does your father know how this is impacting you and your other sister?

I'm sorry your living situation seems so chaotic and threatening.
Why can't you vent to your therapist?

Wow, that sounds scary. I'm sorry your therapist and your father are not more supportive. You are not than welcome to vent here.

Are you old enough to move out and live on your own?

If so, perhaps a local domestic violence center could help you get out of your current situation and into a safer one.

Hoping you find some relief sooner than later!

She goes to mental health professionals off and on, but nothing ever comes of it because she's very manipulative and doesn't want to change. When she goes to see someone, she tells a sob story about how her family is victimizing her and making her want to kill herself, she's so anxious and depressed because we bully her, etc. Then once the person sees her true colors and finds out what kinds of things she does to people in her life, she leaves and finds another therapist or pdoc.

Yes, my father knows. He just doesn't care, which is a large part why it feels like no one cares about me. All he does is tell me to shut up if I raise my concerns to him because "What do you want me to do? Kick my child out of the house when she has nowhere to go?! How dare you suggest I do that!" He knows how depressed and scared the rest of his family is. There have been times when I've made comments like, "I'm going to wind up killing myself one day because I can't live like this anymore, and he just tells me to shut up. One time my other sister said something like "What are you going to do when GingerbreadWoman kills herself? Will that be fun to have on your conscience?" and he made some dumb remark like, "She would never do that because she knows she'll go to Hell if she kills herself."

I just won't see him for another almost 2 weeks. It's not his fault. I'm just being irrational and getting angry because if his schedule didn't suck, at least I would have somewhere to go and get everything off my chest.

Thank you. My therapist is very supportive. It's just that his availability has been so scarce because he does so many other things...he works in like 3 different clinics or something.

I am, I just don't have the money right now. :/ I don't think domestic violence shelters are really set up for people like me. That's part of why I want to see my T. He knows the situation, and I'm wondering if he has any ideas of what I can do to get out.

Also, to make things just that more fun, she has begun turning the AC WAY up so that it's always freezing in the house. This is just the type of person she is. She actively looks for ways to make others miserable using whatever means she can think up. If my father tells her to leave the air alone, she starts a giant fight and tells him to drop dead. I'm bundled up in a comforter, and I'm still SO COLD. This is making me sick.
