Family...

[Reghan]

I have 2 brothers and 1 sister. One of my brothers is in the army and I'm really proud of him. My other brother is 15, his name is Michael. He has drug problems and many behavioral problems. He is extremely mean to me. He hates me. He always calls me names and we never have nice conversations. My sister has developmental disabilities, her name is Shea. She's 14. She isn't nice either. She is a complete brat to everyone in the family and she is extremely mean to everyone, but my mom. She calls everyone retard and stupidass and other names like that. Michael flips out every time he doesn't get what he wants and my dad just gives in. He thinks if he just flips out on everyone and swears at them he'll get what he wants. He's also very into threatening people. My mom gets so mad at me when I complain. I try not to, but I mean I'm a teenager...teenagers complain. We don't fight as much as we used to, but that's because she's too busy dealing with everything else. I'm so beyond done with everyone in my family. I went through all this drug, fighting stuff with my older brother. I just don't see why I have to go through it again. Any suggestions on things I should do?

Well, you can plant evidence that Michael stole something important from your parents or simply call the cops on him. Planting evidence can go wrong pretty easily, so don't try it immediately, maybe if all else fails, but plant something which would get your parents mad enough to do something about him. Seeing that he's a junkie and has attitude problems, solving this by talk could be impossible, try to get your parents on your side. About your sis, maybe she has problems, if you can, talk to her and maybe you can ease your relationship.

Interesting - im developmentally disabled and my middle name is Shea.

id say to distance yourself from the drama as much as possible and look after yourself.

Thanks, but my parents know all about his problems. He is currently doing outpatient. There really is no reasoning with my sister...It's not like my parents aren't trying. It's just frustrating.
