I dont know what to do.
Hi, umm... The other day i went to my fgriends house because it was O.K. with my mom. My mother is bipolar an sometimes she says things one minute then later another. Well that night i went to my friends houise after my mom said it was O.K. and then my friends and my sistersaid something about their being a parent at my friends house. I didnt know what was going on at the time so i just went with the flow an went to my friends house. A few hours later we went home it was 11:00 at night which was no big deal because we usually some home late. Well when i got home my mom said we werent aloud to go to my friends after a few hours earlier she said we could. So my mom got pissed and said to make new friends because we werent aloud around our friends anymore. She after that sent me an my sister to our rooms and i told my mom my story about it but she didnt believe me and she pulled out a belt and started wailing me on my back and it hurt like hell. So now im pissed that i cant hang out with my friends and my fucking back is killing me. What should i do. Please no messed up advice im really not in the mood thank you.
Peace out...

You should call the cops or something because that's abuse! No one should be hit with a belt. I think you should either call call the cops or talk to a relative.

This is a terrible situation which unfortunately I have seen before. I don't know exactly how old you are, but I'm going to assume that you're less than 18. This becomes a very tricky issue, because it all depends on how far you really want to go.
First, I'm concerned about your back. It is not acceptable for a parent to "wail" on a child no matter the age. If you really are concerned, then I would recommend that you go to the emergency room. However, because you are underage they are going to call child protective services and have them investigate the incidence. I don't know if this is a pattern that happens in your house, but it is not a safe environment. If you don't want to do this, then you have to get to an adult that you can trust and possibly have to stay with. The safety of your sister and you are the most important thing right now. If you have to, you can stay at your friends house and then have an adult talk to your mom about her problem (a school counselor or even your doctor- call your dr and discuss your concerns with him, but realize that he/she will be under the same law as the ER to call child services if there is a lot of physical abuse.)
As for your mom, if she is truly bipolar then she will have to go to her psychiatrist (or get one) and be placed on medication to "soothe" her out. She almost sounds that she may have some borderline personality issues. If she isn't getting help for it you have to talk to your doctor about her sudden mood swings. He or she may be able to convince your mom to get some help for that. If not, then you have to leave her until you get some help. She has a very serious problem and she needs to be treated for it. If her children leave her, then it may be the catalyst to get some help. However, you may have to contact child protective services to do so.
I wish that there was an easier way but it seems your mum might be out of control and would not be receptive to your saying that you think that she needs help.
If you need anything else, please let me know.
Yours,
Arun
