We are finding out more and more about different disorders and issues that people face today and in that we are recognizing that some of the disorders or issues are manifested by poor conditions in which children are raised. At least the fact that children can ask for help is a beginning. Hopefully they will address the abuse taking place and your mother will be helped to learn the effects of her abusive ways and how to change her behavior.
Often parents abuse because it was how they were raised and they are dealing with issues as well. Somehow that cycle has to be broken because the reality is, often issues get passed from one generation to the next unknowingly. So the result is that many people wander around very uncertain of themselves and finally have to get some kind of therapy to help them recover from possible damage that was done to them while they were being raised.
You are not going to lose your sister, you sister will now get help and guidance and she will learn how to overcome your mother's abusive behavior. So you have to try to not panic and allow things to take their course. And maybe you, yourself can get help if you need it as well, or learn some of the issues that you may be dealing with as a result of your mother's abuse, if there is verbal and emotional abuse taking place. Your sister will most likely get couceling and it will be determined what is truely taking place.
Be thankful there is now a way to be heard if a child is being abused and needs help. For too long children endured abuse with no way of asking for help and guidance.

I am happy that people know about what has been happening. My sister doesn't have to suffer. I guess she will get the support that she needs. I agree with everything you said. Children and people have disorders because of abuse. It's a vicious which needs to be broken. I would want the best for my sister. I am glad she has it. I don't want to lose her if my mum abuses her.
