Have to move back home...serious anxiety about it

Thanks for reading and trying to help.

I'd have to disagree that she's a paper tiger. I know a lot of Ns never do anything other than emotional/psychological abuse (which is more than enough on its own) and never cross over into the physical abuse realm...she does. She has a history of hurting both herself and others as a way of getting attention. She once made a suicide attempt which landed her in a psych ward on an involuntary hold for almost a month...she denies this ever happened. She has also hurt herself and then accused others of inflicting the injury in an attempt to get them in trouble (did this to both me and my father that I know of)....also complete denial on her behalf that there were ever any lies told in any of these instances.

I have stood up to her for years now. She no longer holds any physical power over me and has no access to any of my finances, so that's not a concern. I doubt she could say at this point that I (or my father) had made any attempt to harm her since we live in different states. I don't really think that not telling her where I plan to move is lying - it's simply continuing No Contact/Very Limited Contact - and a way of shielding my father in the process. If he's under fire from her, it will make life in the house with him less than pleasant.

I suppose I'm just feeling extra helpless right now as a result of my current situation, and her popping up with her stalking behavior hasn't helped. I know that the move/living under someone else's roof is going to be stressful and difficult all on its own and I'm just dreading her adding anything more to it.
