So awful-- When you are back at school maybe T can lay out the options out there to protect your brother.

If your mom cut you off, would dad support you in school? As long as you have one parent's support , that may be all you need.

The tricky thing is if both parents cut you off, you need to be prepared to support yourself. Filing a report on your brother's behalf may be the right thing to do, but there may be consequences.

Another possible option--if your brother is in this situation again, have him call you at school. Then what you should do is call the police in your mom's town to perform a "wellness check"--tell the police that your mom is unstable and your brother is scared.

A wellness check is a good way to check on anyone you may be worried about--having the police check in may halt her crazy behaviour for a short time.

Glad that you were in touch w/your T
