I'm having some extremely complex issues with my family.
Well, my mom has pretty much lost it with the whole family. My family has a room full of toys and trash and other stuff, and today I tried to clean it and donate stuff to charity. Well, she told me I could do it after my brother was done with homework. A few hours later, my brother seemed done, so I started. I only took out a bag or too and put a lot of stuff in the trash. Then my mother and brother came, and my mother screamed at the top of her lungs at me. She yelled that I wasn't supposed to do that, and I tried to cope with her and tried to explain, but every word I said just made her even more mad. Then she came over and tried to beat me up (but I defended myself, didn't hurt her though), and she went over to my stuff and started throwing EVERYTHING into the room. She knocked down 2 chairs, and stuff was splattered all over the place. Then she told me to clean it up. Well, now she claims she's leaving and might not be back. She hasn't left though and I think it's just a plea for sympathy. I was so pissed I didn't even care.
Okay, onto my brother, the devil you heard about before. He randomly beats me up for absolutely no reason (and when I defend myself he flips), intentionally annoys me, and then when I defend myself in a fight, even a verbal one, I always get in trouble and he rarely does, like, extremely rarely. I am always the victim. In the fight about the cleaning, he was yelling at me to shut up for no reason, and he got himself into the fight too, and now he even wonders why he's in it.
Onto my father.
My father has to be the one supporting the family here. I appreciate what he does.
Onto my sister.
Well, my sister was 18 when she got pregnant and gave birth. Enough said about that. She is one of the less annoying people. However, sometimes she will throw a fit over stuff the baby does and never really does the right thing. She's paranoid and has some stomach virus (which I've had at least 3 times), and is saying she needs to go to the hospital. We thought her anger was hormones from giving birth, but no, she's like that from now on.
And now me.
Like I said, I always take the blame. I seem to be the victim of almost everything when I wasn't even in the fight. My mother doesn't understand that I'm 13 now and I'm independent on myself. She doesn't treat me like a teen. She barely lets me do what I want to do. And a lot more.
Any solutions?

Ever come to the conclusion that maybe you're taking the blame because you're the one at fault? Seems logical enough to me.

what was wrong with trying to clean a room? but are you sure you don't actually deserve any blame?
I mean you said you "thought" he was done which is often a euphemism for "he wasn't done but I was tired of waiting"

your mom sounds handicapped

He never said "thought", he said "seemed".


welp it seems theres not really much you can do right now other than telling your dad what your mom is doing.


I've had many of these problems with my brother, except I wouldn't take the blame for him; I would just cover things up rather than trying to point the finger at anybody. I am a twin, and we both realized that we have our differences and that we are complete opposites which is why we now try to segregate in two different rooms doing our own things to avoid confrontation, hope this helps! As for your mom, you should speak to your dad about how she's acting irrationally and he could maybe have a conversation with her on it.
