Im 21 and my younger sibling is 14. We live with our verbally/emotionally abusive mother. When we were much younger, she used to beat us too, but not anymore.

Some days, things are fine. Other days, she lashes out at us, refuses to accept that she's the problem and gets angrier when we don't want to talk to her. I sat down and calmly explained to her how badly that she's traumatized us and she just won't accept that she's the problem.

I've thought about calling CPS so I could atleast get my little brother to safety, but I don't want him to have to uproot his life and I don't want to cause any problems. I don't want to sacrifice what good times we do have to get rid of the bad ones. I work and get paid fairly well and I'm hoping to move out in the next few years, but I'm just so worried about him. I just want to be happy.

What do I do? I just feel so lost and sick all the time because I've never felt safe at home.
