my mother (60) is panicking over financial issues while my brother (20)has supported her in moving out of a chronic domestic violence relationship with our father. (62) My brother gains the primary income between he and mom. I have seen my sibling grow and prove he can be independent free of psychological abuse And torment brought upon by our family. We have siblings as old as 40. My mom has decided to move back with our father after a month of being away. My brothers financial status is not an absolute crisis as he had prepared. My father is still capable of harming others as he physically attacked me during the move by placing his hand on my chest and hitting me closed fist. our efforts to change and stop the cycle were useless.
Is your mom returning because she feels like aburden to her children possibly?
Sorry to hear your family has had a turbulent time with this abuse. You must really care, it sounds like this situation with your brother and mother is stressing you out and subjecting you to the abuse your dad creates. It might seem like your efforts were hopeless, but continue to embrace your own well being and independence from this violence. Just because mom returns to this trauma doesn't mean you have to.
