what to do when your mentally challenged and being abused (siblings, brother)

[bacon232]

what if your an adult who still lives at home, and your siblings harass you but you did nothing. mom just stands there and does nothing, does not kick out the sibling but acts like she scared to. my brother does drugs and watches YouTube all day, he does not work. what can i do, he wont shut up but he thinks he runs things and i don't know why hes doing that. even with out drugs he still was like this but not as aggressive, i dont get it, but what can i do

i was trying to a school that will accept my challenge, i am 20 and looking for my next job . its hard to concentrate when some one is bothering you like him.

that means you are both home all day?
You need to find a way to be out of the house a whole lot.
Is there a community center where you can go to the gym or enroll in any kinds of activities? Can you volunteer at the Library?

If you are just hanging at home all the time you are going to continue to have this brother problem

You can get a job or volunteer somewhere.

Grocery stores often are looking for baggers.

You can volunteer at your local library, zoo, or museum.

When you are home, where headphones and ignore your sibling. Go for a walk to a park.

Do whatever you can to avoid him, stay in your room as much as you can when you are there with the door locked.

Every human being deserves and needs safety.

It's also extremely important for every human being to learn how to love them self completely.
You're no exception.
you don't deserve the crap you're going through.

I think you need an advocate.
You found this website ... keep searching the web and find someone in your area that helps handicaped and mentally or emotionally, or cognitively challenged people get their own residence.

• Yes you CAN go to school.
• Yes you can go to college.

.
The Center for Independent Living is excellent. I don't know if there's one in your area, but find one and call them ... regardless which state their in, and ask for advice.
(There's a great one in Berkeley, California.)

Your mom sounds like she's overwhelmed and overstressed. She probably is not in the mental space to provide good boundaries for the home. So ... this is like life giving you a wake-up call ... go out and live it.
