You go through what about a million of other kids go through. If she ran off, she didn't leave you forever. It's against the law to leave your child unless you have a filed divorce/child support application which was approved from court. Unless you care about your mom tell the police or a relative so they can file a missing persons search, If your dad hits your mom she has probably left to tell the authorities, domestic violence becomes a sentencing in jail for a bail of 5,000 dollars, without bail you remain in jail for 2 weeks. If your dad was reported before or he does it again the sentencing increases the bail and number of days he's in jail.

Don't abuse the word "suicide", I see a lot of people doing that often on the internet. If someone reports the fact you want to kill yourself, you get sent to a crazy hospital institution or something like that.

I've been in your situation 10x worse.
