Search Results: suicidal thoughts

So, a few weeks ago, my girlfriend had mysteriously disappeared. I waited for a week, and I got a little worried. After talking with her friends, I learned she was suicidal.

Because my girlfriend lives about an hour away and because I had the flu, I decided I would request the police to perform a welfare check. After speaking with her mother, the police reported back to me and told me that my girlfriend had been admitted to a mental hospital for various reasons.

I was glad that she was at least getting help. But, a few days ago, my girlfriend told me that her mother wants us to break up because I called the police. Apparently, no one was home except for her little brother. (Keep in mind that her mother disappears for days at a time to binge drink and use illegal drugs with her own boyfriend). The police scared her little brother so badly that he called my girlfriend's mother. She had to rush home to tell the police what had happened, and she lashed out at them.

Because the police had discovered that my girlfriend's mother neglects both her and her brother, she may now have to forfeit custody of them to social services. My girlfriend has told me that she will most likely be moving in with her uncle, and will only be a few minutes away from me. However, I feel horrible because I have basically destroyed their family. Her brother isn't related to her by blood, and will most likely be put up for adoption since her uncle won't take her brother.

My girlfriend says that she doesn't see a problem with what I did, and was actually really happy that I cared enough to actually call for help. She said that other people were calling her an "attention whore" and thought she was faking. But, I don't know what to do. My girlfriend suggested that we wait until May (when she is supposed to move in with her uncle) before we continue seeing each other. She also said her mother would appreciate an apology. But, I'm not sure how to go about it, and her mother is unstable. Thoughts?
