mental illness help: Okay, so here’s the deal. - Help.com

Okay, so here’s the deal.

Two years ago my mom began listening to what she thought was her spirit guide. This “spirit guide” told her things, like that she was meant for this specific purpose and that the world was coming to an end. Anyway, during what she considered her spiritual evolution, she and my father were getting a divorce. One day, she said that she had a vision that my father was coming home from work to kill all of us and that we had to leave. My brother and I were scared and went with her. It’s been two years now and my dad now has custody. Since then my mom has married an old classmate of mine and they’ve had a child. My mom lives out of state but I don’t know where and she won’t disclose her location to anyone. She’s called the cops and said that my dad is neglecting us, which is not the case. I wrote her a letter a little while back when I missed her, and she took it as a cry for help and said that she was coming to get me, but it had to be in secret. I didn’t respond. She currently can’t come into the state because there’s a warrant for her arrest because of contempt of court. I know that my mom wants my brother and I to run away and come to her. For so long it was really just the 3 of us because my dad worked so much, and she became really defendant on us. I’m 17 now and will be 18 in October. I can’t take this crap anymore. I don’t know what to think of my mom. I love her and miss her. And for so long she convinced me that all this stuff she said about her spirit guide was real. She made it sound so convincing and she said that I had this purpose and I couldn’t give it up and all of this stuff. Like the world would end if I didn’t believe it. I don’t know what to do or how to feel about this mess. And I know if I contact my mom she’s just going to make me feel like crap. Sorry to ramble for so long, but I really need some help. None of my friends really know what’s going. Any advice?
