mom threatening to kill herself

My mom cheated on my dad four years ago and they have tried to get past it, but my dad has decided he wants a divorce. There are several other reasons he wants a divorce to go along with this issue, but this is the main issue. She has threatened to kill herself and has tried to do so three times in the past. She has been admitted into a mental institution for three days and they let her go. She always talks about wanting to die and she thinks everyone hates her no matter what anyone says. There have also been times that she said she just wishes my dad would leave and she wouldn't have to worry about it anymore. She would go find this other guy and I'm hoping everything would be okay. When my dad finally serves her the papers I don't know what to expect, but I am expecting a phone call saying she's gone. This is very stressful for me. What do I need to do to not be stressed out about this?

I can relate about your story bcoz my dad tried committing suicide 3x also and now is in jail. So much for my story... But for me not to be stressed about the situation, I talked to my dad and told him everything needed to be told. I told him I know what he is going through that we understand his situation but he must think that with what he was doing we are affected also and that if ever he will commit suicide again it will be his decision not ours, bcoz it's his life anyway. Then after that I told myself that I have my own life and that life must go for me. I know you are affected so much about your mother but you have to think of yourself also... You can do this! Goodluck and Godbless!

I hope you are not living at home with your parents, and that you can make as much of your life as possible separate from them. Don't let their problems be your problems. Even though they are your parents you have to think of yourself and build your own life.

Dan Had good advice and i know its hard to face the fact what they want to do but you have to think of yourself. Maybe talk to your mom and tell her hey i know you are feeling bad, i do not think suicide is the answer but if you want i can support you and be there for you.
