need some advice on mental abuse

[Fantazmic]

if you decide to go and get help through the GP make sure that the psychologist or counsellor you go and see is a family violence specialist. This is very important.....the last thing you want is a counsellor/psych who doesnt understand what you are going through. You need someone who can name the abuse for you...help you clear your head and help you set up a safety plan...and when I say that I dont necessarily mean a safety plan from physical violence but a plan that will help you stay emotionally safe.

Hope this helps and good Luck

No, you don't you only get 12 and trust me they get used up pretty fast.

Grogshla: i know what it's like to be a victim of a mentally abusive parent. my dad did it for years and so did my stepmother but only to me and never my sister. i am mentally and emotionally scared from it all and in 08 i became suicidal. so yeah, you can't deal with it, really mental health plans only work if you have a supportive network around you with that mainly being your parents.

if she, herself is extremely mentally ill then i guess the best thing you could do is have her committed and as her current guardian you are capable of doing that if you think she is incapable of making reasonable decisions for herself and you believe you are in danger. it will at least give you a break and give you time to gather your thoughts. its not a great thought any person wants to think about but i have thought about committing myself before so that i wouldn't kill myself.

just think about it.

I agree with you 100%

I had a friend that was emotionally abusive to me and I did everything I could to help him with his life, he was cutting his arms up, trying to overdose and in the end I ended up calling the Mental Health Ward at the local hospital and they picked him up in an ambulance with a police escort and he got help (however it was only temporary and he ended up stabbing me in the back for it)

As much as I hate to say this, you are a 26 year old, you need to be focusing on your life and not being reeled into these issues with your parents... its affecting you and you need to sort yourself out asap. She can get professional help, but focus on you right now

I can fully understand your situation, my parents split up a year ago in my senior year of school (Mum cheated on my father multiple times and before she up and left emotionally abused me three times over what she did before I found out) and I stayed with Dad. Now I'm emotionally abused by dad (unbeknown to him), and have by default ended up with a 13yo daughter (my sister) and a 42 year old son/husband (my father). I'm the emotional mother and wife, and it regularly does my head in. I'm seeking help at the moment, and without the help of my boyfriend I would have lost the plot a long time ago... You need to get yourself sorted before saving anyone else.
