Younger brother kicked out too
So in January my mum and I had a massive argument which led to her kicking me out bc I told her it’s not okay to yell at the workers at the shops when they were packing her bags. It’s taken me a while to realise this but I’ve put up with a lot of physical, verbal and financial abuse from her growing up. Since I left home things have been rocky with my siblings and mum.
My 18 year old brother has a new gf and had her around a lot. My mum blamed her deteriorating relationship with him on the gf and banned her from coming over and my brother going out with her on weekends. He only just turned 18 and he likes to go out sometimes to drink and party with mates on the weekend. Since the ban she was harassing and constantly texting his gf about how rude she is, how everything is her fault, ect. The only reason she didn’t block mum was so she didn’t seem rude; she really loves my brother and wants to maintain a somewhat positive relationship. Anyways, so yesterday my brother asked mum to stop texting this to his gf and it spiralled into a massive argument and she kicked him out. He’s still in highschool and she called the school to tell them he was a drug addict, homeless and not allowed to return home. I came to the school immediately when he texted me all of this. He’s now staying with me, my partner and my partners sister until we figure out what to do as we live nearly 2 hours away from the school on public transport.
I don’t really know what I want out of this post. I’m so angry and don’t know where to vent this all out too. Therapy is a few weeks away but I need to get this out somewhere. I don’t understand the thought process behind all of this, it genuinely baffles me. There’s so much anger for her and it makes me want to break NC to tell her how awful she is even though it won’t go anywhere. I feel so guilty as I’m already living in my partners parents house bc of this all and now my brothers here. The parents are so lovely and said he can stay as long as he needs but I still feel so awful. It’s not their job to look after someone else’s kids, it should’ve been my mums. The school is trying to organise emergency housing for him so he can stay in school and finish year 12 but it could take a while. There’s a part of me that feels extremely selfish. I could step up and get a full time job and get housing for the both of us but I just got accepted into my dream uni and course which starts next month so that won’t be feasible working full time as well. I’ve wanted this course so badly and have only been able to do it since leaving home as I couldn’t living with my mum. I guess it’s just a waiting game now for all the housing referrals to go through with my brother but I feel so stuck and lost. He hasn’t got friends near the schoool who are able to help him but I really want him to be able to finish highschool as I wasn’t able to do that.
