Whether you feel you are in a dysfunctional family or you're dealing with a very specific issue, this is the place to talk about it and find others who might be going through the same thing.
Sometimes the more my mom, and my brother fight both hot heads unmovable I end up in the middle of the chaos. It makes me sick in my head, in my heart, and it just drains completely of all my energy. Their both toxic in their own way. And people say to stay away from toxic people people who start drama people who get angry at you for how the person I live with acts. It has gotten to the point want to avoid both my mom, and brother because their both hard headed. My other brother tells me to talk to her make her listen...If I could make her listen if she listens to me at all it would be a miracle. I hate the way they make me feel all the time. what is a person to do when your stuck in between a rock my mom and a hard place my brother. so over this wish I could walk away from both the drama and the constant arguing, and the bitchin ,and the lack of concern ,and empty

She has no way to get away from this on her own...
I would limit my time with them and maybe meet in a coffee shop or restaurant but I wouldn't subject 'my own' family to abuse from them...
I know that it must hurt a great deal..... Another hug....xo
The physical, emotion, sexual and spiritual abuse I suffered from my mother and her first husband scared me, damaged me. They are both passed away, but my recovery did not happen until I took the steps to recovery and healing.
many times I attempted to stop my addictive ways on my own, but I was not equipped to do so, it was not until I turned my will, my life and my spirit over to God to let hem manage it for me that i have started to feel relieved and be able to breathe without it.
I know I can not change my brother who very well suffered the same abuse, as well as my sisters. I know my aunts and uncles suffered the same abuse for I have grown closer to them and I am learning to trust myself and family and talk about the abuse.
Maybe one day you will be able to talk to your family about it, but not until you have taken the time to heal and love yourself and trust yourself with God gift, you.
Okay, I just saw where your mom is 78 and living with you. Is she difficult all the time or just with your brother? I would suggest a rule that brother is not allowed in your home. And you tell mom you won't talk about this with her and you tell brother you won't talk about this with him, either. How long has this been going on? If fairly recent and your mom instigates it, she may have some cognitive decline or dementia. If your brother has always instigated and is a bully, then you have to protect mom if she can't protect herself. And again, if either is drinking or using illegal drugs, this is not solvable by you.
