I Am Frustrated

I have a huge problem with my mother's parenting and general character. She REFUSES to work. She also REFUSES to do any and all of the things that she is expected to do as a housewife (cooking, cleaning, raising my brother and me). I can't remember the last time she cooked a meal for the family, cleaned a single room in the house, or did anything other than complain about my father, brother, and me. She relentlessly insults my weight, despite having been 300 pounds herself (she got weight loss surgery because she lacks the integrity and willpower to diet and exercise, and instead chose to financially burden our family). She assumes that my father is having an affair (when she herself is cheating), and so many other bad things. I hate to sound disrespectful towards my own mother, but she is genuinely a bad person and parent.

I'm sorry. I'd say just do what you can to make living there as pleasant as possible like not to argue with her and not to do spiteful things.

We all have mother/daughter issues.......very few do get on, maybe 10-15%
So until you can house/feed you, you are stuck with her.
How she thinks, how she sees who she is, is all in her.
Yes, she should be more wise and grownup, but she an't.
Remember she watched her own mother/father, she could have been abused in some way.
So, then build up your own self-worth and self-love. Get into movement/activities that are healthy and soul building.
Even, every now and then, give her a hug. Even if she is startled by this, you indeed could be her parent in reverse.
Good luck ....

Other than seeking out a foster home, I think you may be stuck with her until you are legally of age and self supporting. Think of her as the price you're paying to complete your basic high school education.

Kinda wish I could... I wish my father would just divorce her already so my brother and I could live with him. He's the one that makes all of the money to begin with.

Yow. Well, you only have 3-5 more years before you can strike out on your own.
