My mother attemted suicide, how do I help?

I found out from my 14 yr old sister that my mother keeps attempting suicide. My sister has had to stop her at least once. She was suicidal before when I was a kid and it terrified me, for a very long time. I'm concerned for my 3 sister's emotional health, and of course for my mother. But I don't know what to do. My mother won't take my calls, or talk to anyone. I understand how she feels, I was there once too. But she has young kids with her and a husband and I want to help but I don't want to make things worse for her by intruding. What can I do? I want to help he, and I want to spare my sisters any further terror.

Her husband is not a kind man, and most likely the major trigger for her attempts... for example, he refuses to let her work and keeps he on the phone all day.

well first, if what's triggering your mom to do this is her husband, then maybe you should talk to him first. try to come up with a conclusion in which you both agree. Maybe try to convince him to let your mom work part time or something like that. It seems that your mom wants her to have a social life. So try to talk to her husband about this. Ask him if he rather have her die, or let her have friends. For this case, maybe a divorce would be helpful, but your mom probably is sticking to her husband because of financial issues. But having a divorce may not be so bad. On the bright side, she'll hopefully stop attempting suicide. She'll get friends, be able to work, have a few laughs, feel freedom. I think this is what she wants, but she feels trapped because of her husband. If she does want to get a divorce, but her concern is financial or any other issues, then maybe you and your sisters can help her out there. Just help her get onto her feet and explore the daily life of an average person. Like if she needs a bit of money, maybe you and your sisters can come up with a plan on giving her like an allowance. Personally, I'd try to fix things without going to the whole calling services thing. Consider some of my advices there. It might help. I hope it does. If worse comes to worse, call a lawyer and consult this or call 911. I think the major problem is what's causing your mom to attempt suicide. Therefore, try to minimize that BEFORE you talk to your mom about how she still needs to consider the people around her. You don't want to pressure her or make her feel blamed.

I hope this helps. If you need any more advice feel free to e-mail me or AIM me at eek its carmyy
