Suicide is the most selfish thing a person can do. Committing suicide would only prove that you are every bit as selfish as your parents are acting right now. If you haven't already, sit down with your mother and her husband and talk with them. Tell them how you feel. Do it in a time of peace, when nothing is going on and things are quiet and normal, not when you are already fighting and screaming. Simply approach them and calmly say "Mom, I have something really serious that I need to tell you..." Write it down and just read it to them if you think it will help you say everything you want to say without breaking down. The important thing is that you find a way to appropriately express how you feel. My instinct is that you use suicide as a threat when you are emotional or fighting with them, which causes them to think you are not being serious and just reacting in anger. The way to get them to believe you is not to yell louder, but go in the complete opposite direction and tell them peacefully and reasonably. When they see that you are not being emotional or crazy and are simply giving them information about how you're feeling, they'll be more inclined to take you seriously. If that doesn't work, google local suicide hotlines and websites. There are many free resources out there available to young people who feel they are at the end of their rope. Good luck.
