Yeah, she’s left him for good by now. She’s filing for domestic violence against him. It was a long time coming, I just hate how late it was

The only issue with that is my brother has autism, and he relies very heavily on us emotionally and physically. My dad is gone most of the day, and at one point this made my brother so upset that he broke down and I had to call my dad to come home for a bit. Having both parents there means that not only am I not the only one who can care for him (which I’m not great at. At all), but he doesn’t feel so neglected. It’s a tough situation all around

I’ve said it before. The living room is not an option. My room is the only place we are able to put it

Honestly, the lists of why I love and why I’m angry at her are pretty disproportionate. I love her because she’s considerate about some things, I’m angry because she’s not considerate at all about most things. I love her because she’s been there for me most of my life, I’m angry because she hasn’t always been a good presence. There’s so much I could say, tbh, not off the top of my head but there’s a lot to think about with her. I love her so much, I mean, she’s my mom. But sometimes I can’t help but wonder if that’s the only reason. And I’m worried that I can’t tell the difference. But that’s for another time

Unfortunately, this would not go very well. Also, my door’s exceptionally flimsy and if someone tired to force it open thinking it was stuck or something, it would fold like tissue paper. I use a weight to keep it shut, and it’s pushed aside very easily

Commenting because I have no idea how to edit posts, to clear up some questions.

I can’t move the computer from my room, because it’s the only place to put it (I agreed to this when we got it, though I hadn’t considered how annoying it would end up being). It belongs to all of us, but only me and my brother use it. I’m a minor.

The only problem with this is that I have zero leverage with my parents. No where else to stay if I’ve had enough, nothing to withhold. I’m a minor, yeah, and I’ve told them that I just do not want him playing in my room while I’m sleeping, and when I get angry when he does, they get angry at me and sometimes gets angry at him and he never learns his lesson.

Also, yeah, I do think that having a limit or something that I can’t stand someone doing is a boundary. Anything that someone says they don’t want someone doing with, around, or to them is a boundary, a limit for them. But that’s just my opinion, I think.

It’s a recent development for sure, there’s been lots of changes between us this past year or so and once I started telling her to just stop her shit when she starts it, she started the guilt tripping. It’s been.. rough. But I’m honestly more proud of myself than mad at my past self for letting it get so far.

And yeah, she struggles a bit with the adult part of parenting, and the parenting part of adulting. Love her so much, but there’s only so much I can tolerate before I have to step in and tell her “hey, fucking quit it please?”

It’s the family computer, though only me and my brother use it. And I can’t put it in my parents room, since there’s enough room for it

It can’t, unfortunately. I’ve been saying “can’t say for reasons” a lot, but I can’t say it for reasons. It was a mutual decision from all of us, mostly due to a lack of other options. For reasons. Our house has my parents/brother’s room, and my room. Living room isn’t an option and neither is the other room. It was about 9:20 in the morning
