Living with a mentally ill abusive mother and brother that promotes her
Please can someone shed some light on my situation and help me. I can't take it anymore. I am currently living with my mother who is very abusive mentally and she is downright mean - goes out of her way to be vindictive and cruel. I had to move back in with her because I lost my job and have not been able to find another one. Problem is - whenever she gets in her "abusive" state she calls my brother and lies to him and then he comes over and believes her (because he is a chronic liar himself and is very physically abusive to all of his past wives) and then he comes over and threatens me. I reported him to the hospital and have told the police about his weird behavior. My mother lies to him like today she called him and said I was hitting her (which I wasn't)and she backs my brother's bad behavior. Like he came over and started my car and carelessly broke the starter and he never offered to fix it. He comes over and takes my exercise equipment, breaks things and never takes responsibility for it (and he is 54 years old). I am living in an absolutely unbearable situation - and yet I have no money to get out. I am scared and feeling more and more hopeless. I try to be kind to both my mom and brother but time after time they repeat the same pattern and end up getting abusive -
Has anyone else been in a similar situation?
