After 25 years of mental and done physical abuse from my stepdaughter my nervous system broke down and all of a sudden I started passing out and my BP was fluctuating like crazy. I’ve been treated by my GP, ENT, Cardiologist, Pulmonologist, Psychiatrist and Rheumatologist and now I’m getting ketamine infusion and have lost around 30 pounds in less then two months and can barely consume 300 calories a day. I too cannot shake this. I think I’m beyond help. My husband still has her coming to our home every holiday and two months in the summer . I can’t take it anymore. I also inflict self harm and my husband thinks I should just get over this.

Hello @clregan2528

I am sorry to hear about the difficulties you are having with your stepdaughter. Since you say that this has been going on for 25 years, I'm assuming that the stepdaughter is an adult. Has her behavior gotten worse over the years or stayed the same? What is her age?

I see that you are being treated by a number of medical professionals. Are you also seeing a therapist? A therapist might be able to give you some ideas for dealing with this abuse. I would strongly encourage you, on a regular basis, to consider getting involved in talk-therapy with a good therapist.

Can you think about this?
