Default Re: Brother abusive, father and mother not getting along

I agree with all above. What are you doing? Are you still in high school, going to college, working? I hope through all of this chaos at home, you have been able to put a plan together for yourself and your own life. One bit of advise from a mom's point of view is to really figure out what you want for yourself and your life. Part of you may want to get away from their home (I know I did at your age) but make sure any choices you make are good for you long-term. While you are at home, I would keep my distance from the yelling, etc. and if your parents are yelling, calmly say, "will you keep it down or go in another room...it upsets the little ones when you scream like that"...sometimes parents need a wake-up call and don't realize how they are affecting everyone else around them.
