my mom acts like she is 16 she is out all night all the time and when she is home, she always yells at us and acts insane.

me and my sister have tried to talk to her about it all the time but she never listens or she just denies it. i have been kicked out of the house many times and had to go to my neighbors house. i would stay with my dad but he is renting a room because they just got divorced and there wouldnt be anywhere for me to sleep. i have gotten my therapist to try to talk to her, but my mom wouldnt even listen to her. somebody please give me some advice of what to do!

I think she might be trying to show your dad that she can be wild and crazy! Why did they get a divorce?

What’s really sad is that you know all that.

You know the sad part about that is also that they are probably using you, the children, to get at each other. Is that the case?

It sounds like your parents are very immature and unfortunately you’re having to witness the worst of them.

Can you talk to your dad about moving in with him when he gets a bigger place?

IF you ever need anyone to talk to you have us here at help.com. I know that proble do not mean much to you right now. Maybe Anonymous if you did let us know where your at maybe you live close to one of us to be able to be there for you. It sounds like littlenick would like to help you out as well as I do. I am so sorry that you and your sister is going through all of this. I wish things could be better for you.
