Thank for that advice, but I sort of already tried that. What happened was (I forgot to put this in my original post) last week a bunch of them were planning to come over while I was at school. It was, however, a snow day, and I was in my rom. I woke up and I heard some yelling downstairs in my grandma's room (she live in the east area of the house, she's got the bathroom and bedroom and living room of her own and all that) and I found out from her (she's the only one who supports my mom outright, but she doesn't want to openly confront them) that apparently, a lot of my family comes over and pressures her every few days while I'm at school. I heard a few days later (yesterday, a snow day again. Yay.) the same thing again, so I went down the stairs and I listened in, and it wasn't even pressuring, it was most of my family subliminally demeaning her. I think they're trying to make her think she's an unfit mother so she'll give me up willingly. Anyway, I went in and I told all of them off, and lost my temper when my uncle told me to leave, and I punched him and told him to get out. They haven't been back yet, but it's only been a day. I'm 15, but I'm a lot more attuned to these situations than most kids, and I know that what they're doing is VERY wrong. Do you guys have any advice (other than "don't punch your uncle again?)

I'm a teenager and I'm living with my mom. We live in a big house, you know, on the outside everything looks nice about our family, and that we've got no problems and all that. But, in reality, it's a mess. My mom's been mentally ill for almost 10 years (Bi-polar disorder, Chronic depression, OCD, and severe insomnia) and she can't really do anything but get angry at my brother (13) and I no matter what we do anymore (why will be explained). We're not allowed to see our dad because he beat me a lot, and my aunt and uncle are trying to tell my mom that she's an unfit parent. Everyone in my family is giving my mom a lot of pressure to turn my brother and I in to one of them to live with, and a lot of them have threatened to file with social services/Children's Aide that she's an unfit parent, when my brother and I know full well that she's a fully capable mother, despite her mental incapacitations. She's been going through a lot of work and she's gotten a lot better. The thing that I'm concerned with, is that since they've all been pressuring her to give up Wyatt and I, she's been regressing and her mental problems are getting worse, and I'm so overwhelmed at what the rest of my family is doing that I don't know what I can do to help. Any thoughts?
