It started young, Ended not much older. My mom is the problem and I don’t know if I should fix it. Im 17, I haven’t talked to my mom since February of 2024. She’s unmedicated, whiny and acts like a child when she’s the adult. She acts like a mom when it looks good for her, in family events or online. My parents have been divorced for like 14 years and I’ve spent most of my life with my dad, I was hardly at my moms and when I was, it was miserable. Most of my childhood she was couch surfing and never had a stable job so we stayed at my aunts house when we went over there for the weekend. It’s was awful for me and my little brother 3 years younger than I am, he’s autistic and gets overwhelmed very easily and would be put outside because he was crying when it was loud inside. Sooner in his life he was always misunderstood and not listened to, being forced to eat food he doesn’t like and being mistreated. There was lots of verbal abuse and this is only the beginning.
