I stayed with my brother for a week. He was strict about my phone and what time I went to bed. He bought me clothes that I needed and taught me how to cook some foods and how to wash my own clothes. While I was there he told me several things. Like apparently my mom neglects me. I told him I didn’t think she did, he said that the fact she lets me stay in my room all day and night even though it had moldy food and dirty clothes and trash everywhere is one sign. Another is that when I went to see him, my hair was in one huge mat. Another sign is that she ignores me a lot. Apparently there’s a lot more too but I just can’t believe that she neglects me. It just doesn’t sound true. Even if it is true. I also talked to a therapist while I was there and she said my mom is selfish and that she sounds like a piece of work. I finally got back home yesterday. I hate that I had to come back though. Back to the way things always have been. With my mom ignoring me. I want to move out. But that’s a dumb idea at my age. My sister offered to let me move in. And my brother said that if things go back to the way they were and I end up in a mental hospital he’s taking my mom to court for neglect and for custody over me. I don’t know what to do though. I feel like things aren’t as bad as I make them seem. What if I’m just over exaggerating everything? I hate this so much. I always find myself questioning everything. I don’t know what to do about anything. I just really need help.
