My mom is my life. She's my best friend...my confidant, a huge part of me! Lately, life in our house is horrible. She's not happy with my dad anymore, but stays in the marriage for me and my brothers, we are high in debt and I am about to go to college, so she feels guilty about the fact that she had nothing to contribute, financially, to my education (though I told her I was happy I was paying for college myself). Everyday she talks about drowning herself, or driving off a bridge, and it scares me. I tell her everyday that I love her and need her, but when I go to sleep I'm scared she'll leave in the middle of the night and never come back. What should I do? What would you do?

I know how you feel...or at least how your mom feels. Suicide, it seems like it would be so easy. Who cares if I go to hell?! THIS IS HELL!...or at least it might feel that way. I know she won't want professional help, that'll just piss her off...having people think she's crazy. She might really do it then. Like everyone else keeps saying, tell her how much you love her. Flaunt your brothers in front of her, telling her that she'd be leaving you guys behind, and if need be, use some sort of force (my friend had to physically fight me to get me to submit to her) to get her to realize that she has no right to leave you. That right belongs to whatever deity you all believe in, if any at all. Good luck with everything...I hope it works out with you like it did with me.
