I do know what it's like to have parents with mental health problems. My dad is depressed and my mom has depression, agoraphobia, anxiety, and I feel like she may be bipolar but that's not diagnosed or anything..
I also have a best friend with a depressed dad and bipolar mom and another best friend with depressed parents and a somewhat abusive father, so hearing this doesn't shock me although it does still make me sad.
My friends and I have dealt with similar outbursts from our parents and it is very hard to cope with - especially after hearing it your whole life. You have to rely on friends and honestly get some alone time AWAY from your family. go to your room and separate yourself from the unstable things your parents are saying. You have to remember that it's not your problem.
Honestly, there's not much you can do to help your mom... I'm dealing with the same thing right now. If she won't accept help you just kind of have to separate yourself from her problems.. And it's really hard, but you don't have the power to change her... You know?
PM me if you ever want someone to talk to <3 take care! <3
