Or circumvent your mother and friend her on facebook?

Sorry to hear about your niece, **TokyoBayer**. The therapy sounds encouraging. I don’t have much experience with people trying to kill themselves. But the one person I do know about did it as a teen and then was never that low again.

For some the teen years are the most vulnerable and things get better as they get older and have more control of their lives. I’ll hope that’s the case with your niece.
