cant cope much longer

As the title says really...i just dont think i can cope with much more now. My mother is absolutely physchotic...she threw a pot of soup at the wall about an hour ago cos she was in such a rage with my dad, then she threw a chopping board at me when i told her to calm down. She's been like this since i can remember. Last summer she didnt speak to me or my dad for 5 weeks and after a huge argument tried to hang herself with a hosepipe. I cant take this anymore really. My support system was my ex bf but since we split up i feel totally alone. My closest friends are at different uni's but i stayed at home: a) couldnt afford halls b) didnt want to leave my dad with my mum. I don't really know how to cope anymore. I Guess i just wanted to get this all out as only my ex bf knows all this but i need some way to cope now. Sorry for the rant.

Have you tried talking to your dad or a close friend? If you are at school or university there is most likely a support system there in the form of a councilor etc who you could talk to. If you are feeling like this you definitely shouldn't have to deal with it alone.

im so close to my dad, we talk about it all the time. I havent told any of my friends just in case they think it's odd my mum is a weirdo :frown: im at uni just now and its a good escape for me but i havent looked into a counselling servive there. I dont even know what i need. Everything is a blur. I wish i just had my ex there just cos he understood me and what she is like. I hate her with every bone in my body.

I'm not all clued up on this but if you went to student services, could they possibly refer you to a counsellor?
