This is my first post to this forum. I am 23 years old. I've lived a very blessed life but my mom has lived a very hard one.
My parents divorced when I was 9 and my mom became pregnant about 3 years later with a dead beat one night stand. We had to move into my grandparent house so she could survive raising a child on her own. She was an alcoholic for a long time and at 12 I had to raise my little brother. My dad was in my life and is the main reason I am so strong. I made a very hard decision to live with my dad at 17 because of unrealistic expectations my mom had.
My mom is now 7 years sober. Going back to school. She is a fantastic mother, she is a strong Christian woman and a loving teacher for special needs children.
See my mom had a very hard childhood. There was a lot of verbal and mental abuse from her parents. When she had to move back in with them the nightmare for her never ended. She is now 50 years old and she is still treated like a 14 year old girl by her parents. They are literally horrible people and even though I try over and over to forgive them they seem to be causing my mom and little brother so much pain.
I've tried telling her to move out and she has a couple of times but not only can't afford it but my little brother has no other family besides them. They love my mom and little brother but they're crazy controlling and manipulative. My grandparents hate each other and fight like cats and dogs. It's a really unhealthy environment for my now 12 year old brother.
I feel so lost. I've prayed and my mom has prayed. My little brother is suppose to get baptized tomorrow because he has accepted Christ. But tonight a huge fight broke out. My grandparents are old and mentally unstable and I'm scared for my mom and brother. I've tried to offer help, to move back home to Florida with me, to move out, to pray, to let go, etc.
Tonight I've never felt so horrible for leaving my little brother when I was 17. I was still in his life but I left him to try to take care of myself for a little. Now he's stuck here in this scary very verbally abusive household and I don't know what to do.
I need prayers big time. I know I cant do this by myself.

PLEASE don't carry that guilt and pain, keep your faith in HIM and believe HE will do what you ask of HIM.
