• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Please help me to do the right thing, I am confused here.

I am the firstborn of four siblings, my mother is now widowed and this happened in 2005 December. What caused the death of my step father is suicide, after a very bad fight with his wife and it was intended to kill all of them but by God's grace I still have my mother. The problem is this, this lady cheated on her husband and I witnessed it.


Now the real problem is this, she is still bringing men into our home, and these relationships do not last long. She keep changing men even if she have multiple casuals contacts with other men. The fact that she is doing this in our sight really depress me. She drinks a lot and come home to insult us and talk very bad things to all of us. Now my siblings are on the loose, they have no respect and are going wild.

The other thing is, all this depressed me in 2006 untill now and I was hospitalised and it caused me to fail my first year at university. I had to drop my studies and stay home. Now, she complains a lot. She puts all the care of her house and kids on me saying I must study and take care of therm. She complains of everything and even telling me to go to university and graduate so that I buy for her a house and car. She is even deciding that I go and study engineering while I want to study computers.

I am now thinking of going away from my home, to rent. But she accuse me to be responsible of her HBP levels. I am also afraid that my siblings will go completly astray. But I seing these men going into our house and it drives me insane. Please help.
