Im not sure where to begin, but Ive had a rough day. My sister calls me and tells me shes sitting on the bathroom floor bleeding. I asked he what the hell had happen and she started to cry. She said she had cut herself several times. She is tired of my mother and doesnt know how to handle her. My mother is moody, and can be hard to be around. I admit, I have inherited her mood swings. My mother can cause you to have a nervous breakdown if you let her.

My sister is pleading with me to come and get her. She said that she got home late on Sat night (11:30pm) and my mother beat her with the belt. She has bruises on her body. My mom lost it, and she knew it. She called the cops on herself as well as Child Protective Services. My sis is 15 1/2 and is a rebelious teen. I think most of us where at that age.

My sis is about 1 hour away, and Im at work, what the hell was I suppose to do? I called the ambulance, and kept her on the phone with me. The medic said her cuts were deep, but not too bad. She cut herself 10 times. Im going to see her after work. Im hoping I can bring her home.
I always knew my mom was difficult, there had got to be more to this story that what she has told me. I keep having flash backs of my teen years and how my mom was unbearable at times. And yes, suicide was thought about every single day. But i got though it, and life isnt so bad. How do I explain this to my sis? What they hell am I going to do about my mom? Shes in some serious shit.

Thanks for listening.....

There's not a lot one can really say in these situations. Particularly in these situations as a stranger. All I can offer is my sincere best wishes nesseone and hope everything works out ok.

Seconded....

I don't know your true situation.....sounds like some professional help maybe required.

As someone who struggles with this particular problem, i agree that its not so much a suicide attempt....more of a destructive defense mechanism. Perhaps your syster is not dealing with hurt and anger well and her only means of releasing the emotional turmoil is to injure her physical body. The best thing to do for her would probably to get her professional help...a support group for cutters perhaps. also try to be as loving and supportive as possible....cutting is a difficult habit to break

Jeannie, this is a hell of a situation. I agree with nana and AprilMichelle it's not a

suicide attempt but professional help is so needed. If there's anything I can do I will. I can


look in yours or her area for support groups/phsycological help all depending on where she's


gonna stay now. I'll call you and I hope I can help!

I am so sorry to hear about your sister, nessone. Im praying that everything works out for the best.

yeah, she said she wasnt trying to commit suicide, but trying to "release pressure"

Jeez..... I don't know what to say.

I agree with what others have said...professional help is definitely needed. But, I hope this helps in the meantime
