I’ve tried to but she refuses to recognize she’s not acting right.
She just calls me ungrateful and a brat and at 17 I can’t really do much
She threatens to send me down to Texas with my dad or kick me out and my step dad even though they fight backs her up when’s it’s against us
My dad and her are separated but not divorced yet. My dad neglected me and my brother while my mom worked as a nurse, getting drunk not feeding us smoking pot around us, and cheated on my mom several several times.
The councelor thinks it has a lot to do with her childhood and schizophrenia my grandma also had
My grandparents gave my mom up to the state when she was 16 because they caught her smoking pot and drinking because she was rebelling there insane controlling
She actually tried to run away but my grandmother caught her out the window and pushed her out
She fell two stories and landed on the outside air conditioner and hurt her badly
This was in the 60s so CPS wasn’t really prevalent

How old is your brother?
You are 17 so legally you can leave the house, become emancipated and get your DL with a hardship. You will be on your own, however you will be in control. I know 30 year old men that could not handle what you are going through, and its obvious your step father cant handle it either. [/quote]
He is 15 about to turn 16 in a month
Our birthdays are on the same day
My friends have told me to leave too and even their parents have told me I’m welcome to move in if things get worse .
I’m scared of doing this though. I feel like I’m abandoning my mom and my brother . She changed so rapidity since she has gotten really bad. Me and my brother almost got CPS involved after the slapping and punching incident on the advise of the cops but we decided against it. We just want our mother better and maybe she won’t be as bad[/quote]
Listen you and your brother need help okay. You ever think that maybe the responsibility of trying to be a mother and her chronic illness is what is making things worse for her? That maybe if you and your brother are in a safe place and she can heal her illness she will get better mentally?
