RE: abusive mother... please help me!!!

Hi,
Thank you for reaching out to us. It takes a lot of courage to do that. You mentioned a couple of things, like abuse from your mother and suicidal thoughts/attempts. It sounds like a very difficult situation.
You mentioned that your mother is abusive with you. If you wanted to make a report, you can call us. Reporting can be scary and overwhelming, so we are here to help you with that. If you do not want to report it, we are still here to help you. No one deserves to be hit or suffer the abuse like your mother has done to you. It sounds like you are in a tough situation dealing with all of this.
You also said that you were thinking of killing yourself. If you ever have these thoughts, you can call the National Suicide Hotline at 1-800-273-TALK. They can talk you through your suicidal thoughts. You also mentioned that you have previously tried to kill yourself. The National Suicide Hotline can talk to you about this, too. There is a website you could visit if you do not feel like talking to someone. It is www.twloha.com.
If you do feel like talking to someone about what you are going through, friends, family members, and even school counselors are great resources. A listening ear can really make a difference. Of course, you can also call us here at NRS.
If you are ever abused or think of hurting yourself again, please do not hesitate to call us at 1-800-786-2929. We are here 24/7 to help you. We are looking forward to your call, and wish you the best of luck.
Sincerely,
NRS
