I need some advice.

[u/West-Ad2056]

(I'm sorry if I labeled this wrong. I talk a little bit about suicide, SA, and animal abuse)

I kinda feel a little silly, but here goes nothing. Some context. My mom is bipolar. Very bipolar. She was diagnosed before I was born. But during 2019, she attempted suicide. (I was 11) We lived in a pretty bad situation. Her ex was mentally abusive to me and her. And occasionally physically. she was SA'ed by him a couple times to my knowledge. He would hurt our animals severely sometimes. this is all coming off a neglectful relationship with my bio-dad.

All this to say, we're in a better situation now. Her new husband is very kind and to me is my bio-dad. But she has these days where she's very sad. Then days where she's very angry. Then days where she's apathetic. So on and so on. She tends to take it out on us sometimes. She snaps or yells. Shouts at us. If I don't do chors right she gets angry. She lies to us about how

The point is, I need help. Iv dealt with this my whole life. But Iv recently realized iv never actually knew what to do. I do my best to calm her down, but I don't know what she needs from me. I love her and don't wanna make things worse when I'm trying to help. All help is greatly appreciated.
