She Leaves For Days At A Time

What do i do. My mother leaves my brother in the house by ourselves for days at a time. She'll pay the lease and then she will leave. She'll come back every once in a while, only to bring food or she'll come back drunk. It's only now that she's doing it. Every since she got her new boyfriend. She's been gone now for almost two weeks, and she doesn't call to check on us or nothing. How should i handle this. I can't be a mother to my little brothers and sisters and go to school. I don't want to drop out, but i have to make some kind of money to make sure my family has something to eat.

I would confront your mom. tell her exacly how you feel and say what she is doing IS NOT ALRIGHT. if she doesnt listen to you, if I was in that sistuation I would threaten her by telling someone that she is neglecting us. note that if you do tell someone you do have a high chance that you will be taken away but if thats what you have to do to help your siblings and for YOU to finish school then thats what you have to do. thats just my oppinion

I agree with Sarah.
