I hope the situation resolves itself sometime soon @beautifulwreck. Your brother does seem far too young to have to be left alone to fend for himself. That must cause you undue stress and anguish, not to mention what it may be doing to him. Sometimes hard decisions have to be taken. I hope your Mom sees sense soon for everyone's sake. Sometimes we have to be the voice of reason within our own family and the voice of protection. It's not an easy role... but somebody has to step up and do it if harm is being suffered. I wish you love as you ponder the options available to you and the best way to approach and resolve the issue❣️
