You say mom is Bipolar; to me this means she has been diagnosed by a psychiatrist and is under his/her care. She should also be on medications for this disorder. Bipolar disorder does not go away but it is manageable with proper care and medication. If mom is not being compliant, meaning not taking her medication, or seeing her psychiatrist regularly, then this is a major portion of the problem.
There is one other thing you need to know about this disease. It is an inherited disease that can be passed from one generation to the next. You and your brother need to be checked for it as well and to be monitored even if at this time you show no signs of having it.
IF mom is non compliant with her medication, not unusual for someone who is bipolar, then you need to tell someone who can help you as you, your brother and your mother could be in danger.
Tell your teacher or school principal. Call 911 if need be, but you need to get mom either back on her medications or to a proper doctor to prescribe medications that will help her deal with her illness.
Her ranting and raving, your brothers being nice to you one day and being mad at you the next are all part of this disorder. They both need to see a doctor for treatment and you too need to be screened both for Bipolar disorder and other forms of depression.
In order to help yourself you have to help them. If that means you have to call the police then that is what you must do. People with this disorder can very easily harm themselves and others so you need to do what must be done to protect and help both them and you.
