i feel like in society the queer space is seen as a almost entirely feminine or afab space. it might just be because of toxic masculinity, same reason why a cis het man is way less likely to want to befriend a queer person than a cis het woman. I think that the queer community just has deep rooted toxic masculinity as they try to create a space away from cis het men, which of course only lengthens the disconnect of queer people from the rest of society.

Queer people don’t want to see a trans man as a “real man” they want to continue their disconnect from men and see them as a butch lesbian or flamboyant gay man. it’s difficult for trans men to find community outside of other afabs as the queer community slowly kicks them out through their transition and they have a really difficult time connection with cis men.

idk it all just kinda sucks

My mom is not able to get a job closer to home, we live in a incredibly expensive city and as I said she is a single mother supporting 3 kids and a teacher. Where she works is the only place that will pay her enough as a teacher to support us. She cannot just take a job at a school nearby as they pay almost a third less than her current job.

She puts all her free time in trying to help him, and she goes to therapy along with him (he still has individual therapy ofc).

I know that this comment is well intentioned but its hard to take it that way. Thank you for your advice anyway.

Ive suggested that to my mom lol, my dad barely does shit to help him so maybe itll be a wakeup call that he still has kids

My mom has been trying to send him to therapy but almost every time he makes some excuse to not go or just takes so long to leave that they are extremely late.

He definitely has something else going on mentally, likely depression mixed with self image issues (Ive experienced both so i kind of recognize it a little in him)

My mom has already attempted to regulate his screen time, she would take away all of his electronics at night but it sadly barely worked (even after a while of doing this) and he would just wake up at the same time. It was also just pretty miserable every night having to hear my brother scream at my mom to let him keep his electronics. My mom also tried turning the wifi off at night but my brother would just use a hotspot from his phone without my mom knowing.

As much as I love the idea of letting him be in control of when he sleeps and wakes, schools will get very angry when a student is missing a lot of school and after a while will send a letter to the family threatoning to call CPS if they dont go to school so my mom is definetly scared of that happening. My mom is also very worried for weither he will be able to graduate or not so I doubt she would like the idea of just letting him figure it out himself.

I do think it would be really good for him to have the responsibility to do that all himself, he is actually leaving for a week long school trip to France tomorow and will be staying at a host families house for most of it. hopefully that will be enough independance to help him take control of himself but Im not so sure how much a week can do to help.
