Judge Tom

It sounds like you, your brother and your Mom are in a potentially crisis situation and need help ASAP. It’s unlikely that you and your brother would be separated from your mother since shelters for victims of abuse and domestic violence generally keep families together. They even assist with housing accommodations, finding a job if needed and getting legal help. Please check out this site for a directory of domestic abuse shelters throughout the country. Please stay safe and good luck to your family. (Check our Teen Help Network for more help and resources in your area. This is information only – not legal advice.)
