I have 3 litte sisters ranging from 6-14 years old, and twin two year old brothers. The problem is my mother was sick of being a mother when my 12 year old sister was about 4 so I end up taking up the slack. She just can't handle it anymore. The question I have though, is after I graduate highschool at the end of this year should I stay in house for a while and help her take care of my sibling or should I go to college and stuff like I planned?
P.S. It's not for her, its for my brothers and sisters cause if it's left up to her she just yells.

I had the same thing happen to me, except my Mom moved out and left me to care for my younger brother. I say, put college off, take care of the kids. Nothing is more important then a human life especially family.
Maybe you can enroll in a community college in your area. You can always go to college, but we only have our childhoods, once, if it gets screwed up, we're effected for life. There is nothing worse then feeling unwanted and unloved when you are just a child. Thats how my mom made me feel when she moved out. Stay with the kids for THEIR future!

You should go on with whatever you had planned. I know it is hard(I have pretty much raised my 4 year old bro) but you need to get an education. You can always come back and check on them during break or on the weekends. You can also keep in touch by phone or the internet. If you don't mind me asking, where is your dad at in all of this? My advice is to go to college! Best of luck!

do not positioned guilt on your self. you're patently a mom it truly is in touch for the wellness of her daughter. distinct moms accessible does no longer have made 1/2 the attempt you made to look after your new child. You stated it your self, you've been delirious. Your judgement changed into off because of that. in case you had no longer been delirious, you may were waiting to make more advantageous acceptable judgements. You did not supply up although. You saved going even at the same time as your body instructed you to stop and relax; all of this for the properly-being of your little female. i have continually had someone to assist me out. i will attempt to imagine of a few places you should contact. you should attempt lots of the concepts in the experience that they are on the city you stay in. attempt calling: your community WIC (women, toddler & toddlers) place of work, or a women's preserve for unmarried moms who're having issues. I requested my husband for enter,and he stated get a pal or a guy round your position. I instructed him that being a unmarried mom makes it even more advantageous sturdy for someone to make pals or a boyfriend because of the particular undeniable reality that you do have a baby. in case your ailment and your daughter's ailment changed into truly as undesirable as you say it changed into, then you extremely must have talked about as 911, or crawled to the nearest neighbor or human being so as that they help you seek for appropriate clinical interest. You and your daughter are alive now, and that is all that counts. positioned that experience behind you and merely make confident you're prepared for that style of difficulty if it takes position back. solid luck!

Wow. That is a tough one. Where is your father? I really don't think it is fair that you would have to put your life on hold because of this. It is very admirable that you want to care for your siblings, but you deserve a life to, and they are siblings, NOT YOUR children. I would sit down and have a long talk with your mother. YOU have been doing her job for her long enough!

Go to college!!!! In the meantime, see if you can find your Mom some help. Talk to people, there is help out there. But, YOU have to come first or you won't be able to really help anyone - not even you. GO

See if your mom can get evaluated for depression. It doesn't always manifest as sadness. Do not give up on going to college. If your mom won't seek counselling, call social services.

Thats very hounourable of you to stay behind for your brothers and sisters.. but then is it fair to you, if you have to stay behind beucase your mother cannot hold her responsibility that she made? I think about it beucase its really not fair to you, and its your future you're building.
Sorry, I didn't want to sound like a cow there..
