@jar1437 My mom and my counselor at the time put me into a week long program through a psychiatric ward at our local children's hospital. I was barely 14, of course I hated my mom for it. I hated everyone. I cried so hard the first day and throughout the night, I'm sure everyone on that floor heard me. I didn't care. It really made me realize a lot of things. Mostly that I just wanted to get out, but also the depth of my issues, and what actually fucked up looks like. Like 8 year olds that fantasize about murdering their whole families just to get some attention in the world (I wish I was kidding). Not saying my problems, or your daughters problems are invalid! But omg it can be so so much worse. I know you're worried your daughter is mad at you; but you're both scared. She's looking to you for answers. Even if she's screaming in your face she isn't. You need to do the right thing and get her into help now. Either individual counseling, group therapy with you and her, or even family therapy if she more comfortable with that. Whatever the root of the problem is isn't "fine" I promise it will not work itself out. It needs professional help. I'm so sorry, but and 11 year old seriously threatening ANYONE with a knife warrants a HEAVY consequence.
