Answer 1

No, do not let her go! You need to tell someone right away -- like a trusted adult (teacher, counselor, etc.). If you're not sure who to call ... dial 1-800-SUICIDE or [phone] and they WILL help you!

Answer 2

Tell her that to think that way, someone must be suffering from serious mental health problems, like severe depression, and immediate help is needed. Ask her to remember when life was good, and say that she is just going through a bad patch at present, but things will change for the better, with time and treatment, so will she go with you straight away for that help, because the rest of you need to have her around to help you in your lives, and would be absolutely devastated if she did anything bad to herself, and desperately want her to get better? If not, call 911. Later, see depression & suicidal thoughts at http://www.ezy-build.net/~shaneris on pages 2 & 5.

Answer 3

Do you have another family member or close friend you can call. I am not sure of your age, but you need to get someone to help you. You need to reassure your mom that no matter what she has done or what was done to her is worth dying over. Tell her there is more to live for. She needs to live for her 3 children. There is help out there. There are also good people out there willing to help as well. Trust me. I am a foster parent and have adopted 1 child and will be adopting her little brother soon. If she is not willing to help herself, then see if there is anyway you can help her help herself. You will need assistance from another adult if possible. Don't give up... I know you are scared, but you need to say out of trouble, that will not help the situation. Help her with your brother and sister.

Answer 4

Go to a School Counselor and talk to them about the situation, they will help you more than you think. The counselor will take it from there as far as making sure you and your sibs are safe...Also, if a family member lives close by--let them know what's going on--before contacting a counselor!! ...If they live far away, find any contact number you can find and let them know what is going on!! Now is not the time to be scared of telling someone what COULD happen...If you see any attempts while you stand before her, call the police immediately!!

Answer 5

This is more common than you might think. It's sad. It is always hard to tell if someone is just wanting attention when they speak of killing themselves or if they really mean it. I have two friends who's moms were like this. In anycase, I am sure you want your mother to live and for all of you to have a happy family life. You need to talk to someone about this who can help your family immediately. There are crisis hotlines and if you can get to a phone without her knowing, you should do that. You can also call 911 if you feel it is urgent.

Answer 6

If your mom is suicidal, she needs professional help and fast. If she is presently trying to commit suicide, call 911. If not, tell another adult that you trust who can also help you to help her get to a crisis center or a therapist. This should not all be on you and your siblings's shoulders. Your mom loves you but right now, the chemistry in her brain won't allow her to act the way she would like to. You haven't done anything to cause this, but you also can't fix it. She needs adult professional help fast.

Answer 7

wow its like im 17 again i had a younger bro and sis and my mom got suicidial when her bf left but right after that i moved out so i know how everyone say call the police and blah blah but going through like the same exact situation i say just let her think your giving her space but make sure to keep anything sharp or any pills/drugs away from her. well im 20 now and shes back in her life and its like it never happened so just give her time i think and if she gets super serious then chain her up and call the police

Answer 8

she needs to realize that she is not hurting herself, she is hurting you more. it is not uncommon for a person to ponder on this thought though when it seems like everything is going wrong in your life. it may seem so overwhelming to her that she feels like this is the only way to get out of the trouble that she is in. it is not that she does not love you, she is so overwhelmed with bills and other circumstances she feels as though she can not see the light of day no more. she probably feels as though if she were not there you would be better off,. the only problem with that is foster homes are abusive, uncaring, and if you aren't careful the children have even been raped, molested , and even beaten. if you seek help for her she has to be willing to accept it to be any help to her.

Answer 9

Do you have another parent around? A grown-up? Another family member? Perhaps you should call someone and talk to them AFTER you call the ambulance or the police. Your mother really needs help, and it's obvious that she can't help herself. You didn't really explain if the situation was life-threatening...like, did she take pills or cut her wrists? If you love your mother as much as you say you do, you will make the decision to save her life and get yours together.

I'll be praying for you, honey...

Answer 10

i know it may be hard to say to your mom, but.. hearing it from you might make a difference, first off tell an adult or police but say to her .. is she loves you and your brother and sister so much, she would never do anything so selfish and hurtful to you all.. that you need your mom in your life, and tell her to seek help, times may seem tough to get through but leavin her children in this world without their mother is the wrong way to go about things.. talk to someone very soon ok.. please take care, i am sorry .. so sorry that you are in this situation.. be strong ..
