Dear pikachemew2:

Your mother is clearly very abusive. Her having loving moments does not in any way make up for any of her abuse of you and your brother. After all, serial killers also have their loving moments. The fact that she is stressed is no excuse for abusing you and your brother. Most people- if not all the people who abuse their children, are stressed out and carry old hurts from their childhood. It is not happy people who abuse their children. And yet, not every parent who is stressed and has old hurts, is also abusive to their children.

So you see, your mother is responsible for abusing you and your brother. it is a shame that your father is weak. He is responsible nonetheless for not protecting you from your abusive mother.

I wonder if Child Protective Services can help…? take your younger brother away? Maybe remove him and you from the home with her? If you bring to them this very story you posted here, will they be able to help and keep her away from your brother and from you? Maybe you can have a meeting with such an agency and check things out.

I like what you wrote: “I plan on going to my schools counseling services for help, because I want to be a success. I already maintain a 90 above average, and have dreams of being a child psychologist and creating my own anime”

Like I wrote to you on your other thread, I don’t think your mother will change. Why would you think she would change? You did not indicate any efforts on her part to change or any words she used to indicate her wanting to change?

She has something in common with you- having had a rough childhood, but the commonality stops there. I hope it will always stop there. You want to make a good life for yourself and to help your brother and other hurting children while your mother IS HURTING CHILDREN.

So as much as you love your mother (natural, because you were a child and she was your “care taker”- the only one you had)- I hope you separate from her now (family services) or as soon as possible and make a good life for yourself. I also hope that with help (again family services?) – and maybe even your father’s help- do something to help your poor brother.

My heart goes out to you…

Pikachu- such a cute cartoon character. By the way.
