Eric, You have to keep strong. You are in a safe place where people love you. You are not your mothers keeper and you can't do anything about the way she wants to live her life. The only thing you can do is have faith in God and leave her to Him. It is sad that parents sometimes can't be what they should be, But in this world you have to stay strong and know that it is not who we are born to that are our family but who is sent to us to be in our lives. Keep the faith.

I'm sorry to hear you are going through so much worry right now. you say that you cant go near your mom as you have to take care of your grandma. you also say that your mom has no-one to keep an eye on her as all her friends are druggies.

you need to choose which person needs you more right now.. ur mom or ur grandma? if your mom is suicidal (i'm not sure i understood you saying she is), then she definitely needs someone who is 'out of the problem' to keep an eye on her. it is not helping you either knowing that she is in trouble, most probably depressed, and having no-one to look out for her.

is there anyone you trust to send to help her if it's impossible for you to go yourself, maybe one of her sisters or brothers, a caring cousin.. anyone? would it be possible that maybe u go there yourself and take ur gran with u as well, if there is no-one to keep an eye on your gran whilst your gone?

u need to be near her, or have someone you can trust to be near her, so that you know that ur doing something, anything, and then wont feel the need to worry as much..as deep down u will know that ur doing everything you can.

take care, and post anytime u want to.. we will be here with u

Suicide is painless, it brings on many changes.

I think your mom is just looking for attention. Ignore it.

Not all people are looking for attention. My dad tried killing himself mumerous of times. The first two times he did not succeed and the third he did. He put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger. He wasn't someone who sought attention. He could of cared less was people thought of him. Actually he was very self centered, and had a cold heart. The older he got the sicker he got. He ended up having a few open heart surgeries and was put on alot of prescription meds. The medication changed his personality. He didn't want to live anymore and decided to take matters into his own hands. Or maybe it was guilt from walking out on his wife and kids years before. I don't know. But the man I always knew never looked for attention nor would anyone of thought would of actually of taken his own life. So, I have to say, take all attempts seriously!

im very sorry to here that best wishes to your family

I know I don't understand that either. Suicide/attempted suicide is not a crime.
