  • He actually owns a business and even before her health went downhill he gave her a job. She does not want to work and does not like being bossed around =\ also my brother is intellectually normal but she has caused him to be severely overweight and he is afraid to be in the home alone and can't cook or care for himself at 15. The psychologist directly blames her. All four of them. I wish she would get a job but she hates working and is always sick and wont even get out of bed. Sometimes not even to shop. Most of her shopping is done online.

    • Have you told your dad to get a divorce? Or to at least make her move out. Like I said, she's a child and eventually children grow up and move out, somehow she managed to remain stagnant and skip the other two steps. I'm also very sorry for your brother being overweight. How do you deal with her? Or at least how has she been as a mother to you?

      • Actually, I am moved out. My Dad wont consider divorce until my brother is moved out too
        Honestly, he'd have to pay out the ass in alimony because by the standards of the government she qualifies for disability. We are encouraged to show obvious gratitude for what little she does do and try to act sympathetic to her complaints but I try to avoid her because all she really does is complain and she is a dark cloud in our house. When she leaves, everyone is happy and joyful but when she is around its... depressing. She always bought me what I wanted as a kid and had me on lots of medication for adhd when I was younger. I'm normal now, I stopped taking it at soon as I turned 18 but she was always just drinking, sleeping or whatever. I just kind of lived my own life and dealt with all of the therapy and drugs pushed on me. She didn't discipline me or anything and yelled at my dad when he tried sometimes. I always had to feel sorry for her though. Over time I grew less and less sorry.

        • Well when your brother moves out try to see if you can get your dad to get her away without paying alimony. You're old enough to take care of yourselves, I see no reason why she can't. Honestly, I'm sorry that you have to deal with her, or at least that your family has to deal with her.
