I don't know what to do.?

Well my first suggestion would be to call child services because your parents are obviously neglecting you. You're a better person than they are treating you. After that everything else should fall into place.Ok Sarah he first thing you need to do is get rid of the sleeping pills. You could overdose very easily and hurt yourself. As for the drugs and drinking try stopping completely but you appear to be doing something called self medicating and because drugs are called mind-altering substances for a reason be very carful with quitting because you emotion could be thrown out of wack making things worse . I see that you are the one who has stopped hanging out with your friends, this means that they still care about you and that you can always go back and hang out with them. As for your suicidal thoughts I would seek help right away, find someone you can trust a priest school councilor whoever, you should probably talk to them about going and getting help. But make sure you can absolutely trust them to not hurt you there are cruel people out there you will try to take advantage of people in your situation. Try finding an online website that gives advice. As for you hurting yourself it appears that this is because of the way your mom treats you, try taking your emotions out some other way, take up drawing or writing. As for your mothers emotional abuse try to avoid her as much as possible and remember she is not in her right mind when she is drunk, aging the whole mind altering substance thing. Physical abuse is a hard problem to solve, getting away from her might make things worse by making your mother more angry. If you think your life is in danger do whatever you have to get away but please do not hurt your mother. If she does physically abuse you call the police, abusing children is a crime. I noticed you have 2 siblings, try to be with them as much as possible it will help all three of you.

I'll pray for you stay strong.
