I'm at home right now because my mom left me here. She woke me up, gave me 5 minutes to get ready and left! Keep in mind i'm a 15 year old girl and i need like an hour to get ready. So i like threw on clothes and i was running around trying to get ready really fast but she just left. And guess where she was going? My grandma's house. She's always like this and she goes like psyco on my brother a lot too. She's not like abusive or anything but she scares me. Is this normal mom behavior? By the way i'm her 5th kid and she didn't act this way with the other 3. My brother gets so upset about it sometimes that he turns to drugs and i'm starting to get into it too. It's like we need to get away from her but to the rest of the world she's the perfect mother because around other people she's always so nice.

I think maybe you should try talking to your mom, or having someone else, like an adult talk to her, and tell her that her kids are worried about her. It seems like she has 2 sides, but most people do, we dont act the same as we do at him, as we do in public right? We fight at home, run around without makeup, wear pajamas all day on saturdays.. you know, we are more of ourselfs, but your mother probably just has a lot going on, but the fact that she scares you and ispushing you and your sibbilngs into unsafe situations is dangerous, try talking to an adult you trust or a counsular!

Sometimes mothers act like this because they can't cope with certain stresses of life. Try asking her if there is anything bothering her. However if she is starting to scare you then I suggest that you tell another adult about the ways she treats you and your brother, like someone who you trust (another relative or even a school teacher).
The worst thing you could possibly do is to get yourself mixed up with drugs. And if you feel that your becoming addicted you should definately tell someone so that you can receive help before you hurt yourself.
Talk to your brother aswell and explain to him that drugs is not the answer (for either of you).
Whatever you decide to do, bottling up your feelings is not the answer, eventhough you may find it difficult to be around your mom right now, maybe if she knows how you feel, she'll think about changing.
