What would happen to the parents of a minor who committed suicide?

Call the cops anyway and call CPS since you're still a minor. For 1 your stepdad is a bad and 2 your mom is obviously in denial.

You need to take responsibility in the family. You say your mom won't let you call the cops? You are letting a drunk tell you what to do?

I'm sorry but we must face facts here. Your mom is a drunk, and she is not making sense either. The next time there is a physical fight, and he hits you, your mom or girlfriend, you need to get someones' phone and CALL THE COPS.... There will be consequences, but he won't stop being violent until he is forced to.

He needs to spend the night in jail and take some anger management courses. Your mom needs to go to AA again, and get cleaned up. Since neither of your "parents" are sensible and responsible, you must take the lead.

Being 17, you may not need to go to CPS, but violence in the home is not only illegal, it's unnecessary and produces only sorrow. Your step dad is an ***, and needs to spend some time in jail. Your mom needs to grow some brains and see him for what he is.

And you need to take the lead and do what is right. Ignoring the problem, will not resolve it. I would also see if you can get a court restraining order, keeping him away from you and your mom.

Now I realize you might not like my advice, but believe me, this is serious stuff, and eventually, unless he is stopped, he will kill your mom or you. Take care and God Bless Dan.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
