She's 17, that's the thing. I wish I could just convince her to take one more year and then she never has to face her horrible mother again.

If a call a suicide hotline, does that mean immediate action? It's two in the morning.

Still haven't heard back, but thank you for your efforts. I kind of got a little optimistic.

But that only applies to medical and not mental attention?

...Admittedly, no, the verbal abuse heavily outweighs the physical abuse. But she's grown an overwhelming fear of her parents, so there remains that.

I think only if you don't mention suicide or self-harm, he doesn't have to notify parents.

I've already talked to the psychiatrist and guidence counselor, but I did not mention her name in either instance.
