when you do see your brother, even if your mother is there, tell him how much you love him and if when he is of age he wants to be on his own, you will do anything you can to help him. I know there are places where he can get help, we just have to have some time to find them. But at least he would know there is hope if he can just hang on until he is of age. That's what the F. does, they make the teens stay in until they are 18 and then by that time it is so late in life for them that they have no idea how to function outside of a F. home. That pisses me off too. They should make a way for them to leave if they want instead of setting them up for failure. I wish I knew what else you could do. I certainly understand your frustration. I will keep you and your brother in my thoughts and prayers.
