Ever since my parents got divourced, my mom has spoiled my 17 year old brother rotten.She let him get his driver`s license before me,even thouth I got my permit before him and have in the past asked her to take me out driving,which she refused,has let my brother drink alcohol which I told her she should get rid of,obviously she didn`t,doesn`t get on him to get his grades up,lets him have friends over on school nights even when he has friends over,he mouths off to her,but she doesn`t do anything about it,I swear she ends up scolding me.Am I being abused or is this just something to get over?

I feel really sorry that you have to be in this situation with your mom. But i think there must be an explanation to whatever is going on. I feel your mom has been really disturbed with the whole divorce thing. Was it like you were more closer to your father than to her? if that is true, then maybe she vents out the anger she has on him on you.
If not, then maybe there is some kind of security that she finds in ur brother that she feels you will not provide. I don't think she wishes you bad, because no mom will want bad for her kids.
She just needs someone to talk to.
I would suggest that you find someone who is close to her and who she listens to,to talk to her about this. Hopefully, she can open up to them and then you will know what it is that is bothering her.
i hope you resolve this problem asap. all the best!!

Your mom maybe acting like this because he is younger than you. I don't know. I would sit down and talk to your mom about her behavior towards you. If you really want to be mean, you can call the police on your mom for supplying your 17 year old brother with alcohol. Also, you are 20 years old. Try and get your own place that way you don't have to deal with the situation. If you can't afford a place of your own, talk to some friends about moving in with them until you have enough money.

You're not being abused but she is being totally unfair. If you're 20, find a friend to get a place with and move out. That should get her to ask what's her problem.

She does this because you let her - the chances are it is how she was brought up and now you are being brought up the same way - it is up to you to break the cycle - just do it gently she obviously loves you loads and wants you to be safe and secure. It is the job of all parents to worry about their children and maybe us mums worry more about their girls than they do about their boys.
