Hi COLCON……What a star you are for being so level headed and taking on the nurturing role…Its sad, that you and your siblings have had to endure this..I really worry about your little brother though….If he is still in that environment with your parents ,the harm to him , mentally and physically is dangerously high……At 11 he is at the stage where he will know what is going on and for me that is heart breaking….Isnt there a relative that can check in, and make sure he is ok…??? I have no sympathy for your parents..sorry if that sounds harsh, but if you want to mess your kids heads up, then your parents are and will be doing a good job….Your mother sounds as if she has taken to drinking as there is no other alternative…that is very sad……Do your sisters still live at home??? and if so can the not ask social services or other organisations for help….I know that may sound drastic, but I really would be worrying for your little brother…….massive hugs, and here to talk xx
