Hon, talk to your DV counselor about your fears, and whether there is anything you could or should do in terms of reporting to the police, at this point. if there is, your counselor will know the ropes on that.

i like Bobby's idea ( Hi Bobby! ) of the dogs stay at a shelter and getting help for your mom - maybe a volunteer. is your mom herself moveable? could you both go to the shelter?

In any event, Bobby's right about helping yourself first - it's the oxygen mask principle.
