 Hi sweetie.I read your post three times so I could get a sense of what you are up against. It sounds like it is a struggle for your family just to get through each day. Your mom is just trying to get by but obviously life is just too much for her right now and the anger she is feeling has broiled over and you are the target. I guess she needs to remember that you are livng with big time stress as is and you do not need this grief. Hun I will give all the advice I can but this situation might need more help than anyone can give here. Is there someone..anyone in your life right now who you feel safe with...someone you can talk to. This person should be an adult..a teacher or a guidance counseller.....just a soft place for you to fall. You sound as if you are in a bad spot and you are alone and you are young. My concern would be that you are going to want to spend time away from this situation and you might get hooked up with the wrong people. If you could find a caring adult who might know some organizations in your town that could give you a break from this stress it might give your life a little happiness..and hope. At the age that you are at hun...life should be full of smiles. It seems as if you are coping with so much. I hope there is someone out there who you can reach out to. Do you have mates you can talk to? Please keep us posted. You are in my thoughts sweetie.
