So I have this little brother with autism

He's 19 now but he's still just a kid & he still needs help.

He lives with my mom, who is very unstable. She bounces place to place & rarely has her own place to live. My little brother doesn't have anyone else but her to rely on. His dad died long ago, & he doesn't know that side of his family. & Our mom's side of the family wants nothing to do with her.. so she has nobody in her family either. Therefore, my brother has no one else but my mom.

My mom has been on drugs for a long time. Sometimes she's better, sometimes she's not. Months ago, she disappeared without a word or warning. Her apartment got locked due to non-payment, & she was just gone 🤷 nobody knew where she was... not even my little brother who my mom's supposed to be there for.
It took her daaays before she reappeared & took him with her. Still don't know where she went though.

My little brother just called me this morning for the first time ever since all that happened. He didn't sound concerned, he was chilling, watching tv at the moment. So we just talked about how he's doing & what he's been doing for fun, how he's been making money (he always helps people & makes money for it.. idk how lmao).

It makes me happy he sounds okay & that he has a phone again to call me. But I'm still disappointed in my mom 😒 like you're all that kid has, why do you have to make him live like this? 😔

My mother and I do NOT get along, much for this same reason. She neglected my brother and me when we were kids. Not just emotional neglect, but ACTUAL neglect, where we would be left home alone for months without food and sometimes without electricity or water.

Some people should never have had kids.

@DearAmbellina2113 that's messed up, I'm sorry 😔 kids shouldn't be left to fend for themselves like that. That's still abuse. Definitely not everyone should be allowed to have kids.
