[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 604110, member: 1550"] Hi. How old are you? Can you get your mother on here to explain her position? There is NOTHING you can do since you are not legally in charge of him. As for yourself, your parents may not believe you, but I do. I had a horrible time with depression for a good deal of my life. Are you in treatment? On any medications? Are you over eighteen? Is it possible you could live somewhere else if you are? The situation with your parents home does not seem healthy for you and I know how bad you feel when depressed and anxious. It is a big black hole that you feel you can never climb out of and drama and noise are not good for it... I do think that if you are living there, you do have to get a job, even if you are very depressed. It will make you feel better and get you out of the house. You also can't pawn off your chores. Depression didn't stop me from doing both of those things, no matter how badly I felt. As long as you are there, you apparently will get grief from your parents if you don't amuse your brother. That is something I disagree with. You shouldn't be responsible for him. He is THEIR child, not yours. [/QUOTE]
