Im 19 and my brother is 8. My mom and her boyfriend are completely unstable. My mom is an alcoholic and they both do drugs together. I know they do cocaine but I don't know what else, possibly heroine. I want my little brother to be able to live with me and my roommate in our apartment. My mom wouldn't care so I think he can.. right??? Am I missing something?

I think I'm ready to do it, but I'm not sure if I should, I love him but I don't want it to ruin our relationship. I do truly love him but I'm scared to lose hi...
Call family services and turn the bitch in. I'm surprised that the boyfriend hasn't hit on you. Your mom doesn't want to lose that welfare check. Turn the bitch in!
ReplyI think that is a great idea, and the only way to make sure he is safe.
ReplyYOUR BROTHER IS ONLY 8!!! HE SERIOUSLY NEEDS A KID-FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT!!!!!!
A BRIGHT, RAINBOW ENVIRONMENT WITH CARTOONS AND FRIENDS
NOT IN SOME DARK WITH ALCOHOLIC DRUGGIE PEOPLE (Sorry if that offends you but yeah)
YOU NEED TO GET HIM
NO IFS OR BUTS
YOU ARE HIS RESPONSIBILITY NOW
FOR HIS GROWTH
HEALTH
HYGIENCE
CHARACTER
DEVELOPMENT
COURAGE/SELF-ESTEEM
GOOD CHILDHOOD
HE IS AN INDIVIDUAL
HE WILL GROW UP TO FEEL WHAT?!!!!
Oh my God why is he still there?!!
GET HIM IN NOW.
First, talk with your mom (in person) bring her gifts...Say, "Hey mom :) I missed you, so I thought I'd drop by...How has your life been going? How is (Her bf name) how is (your brother's name) ..."
Talk talk talk....clean and cook for your mom and hug your brother. After an hour or something, tell your mom "Hey mom...I was just wondering about (your brother's name) mental health and environment. He's only 8 and I feel like being surrounded by unhealthy substances isn't good for him. I also really care for your health, can you please try to get clean from this? I can keep (your little brother's name) because I want him to grow up in a kid-friendly environment you know....Youre his mother, so of course you'll miss him and you care for him, but I just want him to be raised strong and in a good environment. He will grow up to have mental health issues and wont be a good adult you know"
If your mom agrees or will think about it, great. If your mom says no, talk with her a couple more times next time.
If she keeps saying no, threaten her that you'll file a child custody case on them ....then ask her again, if she still says no, then file it for real and tell them why you want your brother to be with you (Whatever happens to your mom is gonna be the result of her actions--cocaine possession etc)
You just HAVE to do this!!!
YOUR BROTHER IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
You wont be doing a good deed by caring for him, you will be fulfilling your responsibility as an older sister
He will think "What sort of an older sister did i have?" when he gets older
Good job for posting this, it means youre recognizing everything
ReplyYou should ask someone to help with a legal against your mom. You cannot just take your brother and have him live with you.
Your mom could press charges against you for kidnapping your little brother. You should talk to someone who understands the law, so this does not happen.
