Hi. So glad you reached out to talk about this here. Try to stay as calm as you can. and

I know it seems too scary to do so but it's very important that you seek the help. If you are a minor, talk to a counselor at school or contact Child Protective Services.

If it seems like she will harm herself, call 911. You don't have to take any of her scary threats on your own. Call for help.

You can also call National Crisis Intervention Line... They will help you and advise you what to do. 1-800-273-8255

Just know that if she's not getting the help that she needs, YOU must do what you can to make sure that you are safe and able to live in peace until she is stabilized.

Don't feel bad if she screams, cries, blames you. Don't look to her for support about your decisions to ask for help.

I'm a survivor of an abusive parent suffering from undiagnosed mental health problems, most likely bi-polar disorder. The drama was endless and I always wonder how different my life might've been if she was forced to get help by someone who reported her for beating me.

Please take care. Stay safe.
