Maggie My question is about my brother. He’s 14 and I’ll be 12 next week. We get along for the most part. My parents have been fighting a lot lately and Dad moved out right before school started. Mom won’t let us go stay there but we see him on the weekend. Anyway, since the whole thing with my Mom and Dad has been going on, my brother has been acting like a real jerk. Stealing stuff and everything. Then he just throws it away later or sells it to his friends. He isn’t the same any more, I know he’s mad at Mom for kicking Dad out but I don’t get why he is stealing. He told me last time if I told on him, he would beat the crap out of me and I know he would. I don’t want to get beat up. But I don’t want to get caught with him.
Thanks for writing me, it sounds like you are in a tough spot. The first thing I am going to say to you is Happy Birthday, you only turn 12 once so enjoy it! Secondly, I'm sorry about your folks, my folks got divorced when I was a kid and I know for me it wasn't easy. I think you are right, your brother is probably PO'd...I know I would be and he's just doing mean stuff right now. You need to do what's right, in the end, he'll thank you for it. That means bringing an adult into this situation.
I highly recommend talking to your councelor about your parents and the situation with your brother. He/she will guide you as to the next steps. Good luck and keep your head up, it's bound to get better.
Wishing you the Best-
Maggie
