Dear pikachumew2:

This is very, very sad for you and for your brother. Very sad. Your mother is abusive in many ways. The sooner you get out of her presence, the better for you. Same for your brother. If there is any place for you and/ or for your brother to live, away from her, it will be the thing to do. Tell your brother what she is doing to him is not right, not fair. Of course, it can come around to bite you, so to speak, if he tells her. I hope that somehow you can help him by planting in him the seed that he is not to blame for her abuse of him, that the fault (like in your case) is NOT with him. Damage is done every day in your “home”- it is a tragedy.
