I’m in about the same position as you, except I haven’t stayed at school when things go south. I’ll stay at my grandparent’s house for a week or so though, when I just can’t take my home. My step-mom’s on medication for the same thing your mom seems to have, and she also visits a therapist. But she is still far from perfect. Someone with a rude and abrasive personality (like my step-mom’s), in addition to mental problems, who doesn’t want to change just will not change, it just won’t happen. This is why medication is often the best option, though trust me, IT’S FAR FROM PERFECT!!! My step-mom’s on medication, and it doesn’t work perfectly, in fact, Benzo drugs have pretty much destroyed her. Here’s how it works: doctor prescribes a drug, drug works for a time, then drug stops working; doctor prescribes another drug; cycle repeats; such is the unfortunate reality of Benzo drugs. I will say: Try, but don’t get your hopes up.
