so for context, I (15f) used to live with my mom for most of the time up until about 12 months ago. She is a hoarder, an alchoholic, and has multiple mental illnesses. When I was about 10, my mom started talking bad (lying, calling him names etc) about my dad, to me and my siblings, and in turn made us hate him so we lived with her (full time, like not ever seeing my dad) instead. She soon after started smoking weed and abusing alchohol, and putting them in places where us as children (me 10ish, my sisters 12 and 6ish). I know that in itself might not be bad, but my older sister started stealing the alcohol and getting drunk in her room. She also let us stay home from school like whenever we wanted, so our grades were terrible, and over 3/4 of the school days we were at home. Our dad meanwhile, was taking my mom to court in order to try and get us an education, and to get my mother to go to therapy. I fell into a deep depression at around like 13 I think, and dropped out of high school and started never leaving my bed. My mom also like rented out the rooms in our house (we had 2 spares) constantly to host students so she could have more money, and most of the time they left the house because of the hoarding. Sorry this is getting kinda long 😭🙏. But anyways, my little sister started to gain a lot of weight, and at the moment (like when I posted this) she is around 200lbs at 11ish. My mom enables this, and lets her eats way too much, and most of it junk food. My mom also uses her as an emotional crutch like constantly. She also took my little sister across state lines without my dads consent for over a month, even after my dad went to court about it, she didnt come back until over the time a judge ordered her too. Ok so like I might have forgotten to add stuff, but thats the majority of the things shes done that I can remember, feel free to ask quesrions becuase I know this is kinda jumbled. But ya about like 6 months ago I cut my mom off completely, and idk I feel kinda bad.
