I’m an 18 yr old girl, i live with both of my parents and my half-brother who is 30 yrs old and a schizophrenic.

everyday he starts arguments with my mother ,who is unable to even drive or work because of the multiple illnesses she has, and i can hardly take it anymore. i try to help make her feel better but somewhere in the process of that it always turns into an argument between she and i. my brother sneaks alcohol into the house often and when he gets drunk he argues and screams and sometimes even gets physical with my father. we can’t kick him out of the house because the only place he has to go is to my aunts, but she drugs him and steals his money. on top of all of this i’ve been in a relationship with my 24 yr old boyfriend for 1.5 years, but we haven’t been intimate for the past 6 months because i’m not as interested anymore ever since my gynocologist told me i have high risk hpv and i have to get checked about every 3 months for cancer cells. i’m going away to college this fall so i’m stressed out about a lot of things and i’m afraid all of this will break me.

thank you for replying. we’ve had friends of our family offer to take him in for a week so we can have a break, but when it comes down to it and we actually ask if he can stay there they say no and tell us they don’t have time. the kind of friends that say they’re there for you but really aren’t once they have to prove it. it’s gotten down to the point where my brother’s counselors don’t even want to deal with him or my family because he needs help from them so much.
thank you for your advice, i really appreciate it. it’s good to know there are people willing to listen and help others.
