SORRY ITS SO LONG! Please read though.

Bascially, my mum and me have been having some real problems, im not a family person so im not too bothered, but i really need to know who's in the wrong here becuase its hell living like this.

Ok, my mum and my step-dad say im the worst out of all of us (kids) becuase i 'mentally abuse' mum. I admit i shout, complain and generally try to be difficult. I call her names like 'slut' and *****' (she sometimes says them back). But i've never hurt my mum, smashed something or stole important things, until recenlty i did everything they asked. But they have put locks on the kicthen door to stop us eating, hardly ever give us hot water, not aloud to cook, pulled to handles off the windows so i can't get out the house, turn off the electricity, we're not aloud to buy a tv becuase of too much electric, and taken my clothes, make up, laptop etc becuase i 'left it turned on, and it uses too much electric', and i have to be home at 10pm weeknights even though im almost 19. Im not aloud friends in the house, and they said i just want you to go, i don't care if you're living on the streets, just go.

My brother, who is now in prision, was aloud to do everything, and i mean EVERYTHING, since he was a kid he's been going out, getting drunk, bringing his gross friends round, bringing in drugs, guns, and his girlfriend lived with us, he could go in and out whenever he wanted and my mum always fed him better, bought him cigs, razors etc (she buys me and my sisters nothing), drives him around in the car. He does 'talk' to her nicely (i don't, i think thats why she hates me) but sometimes he'll scream at her, swear and smash up the house, car, and he's stolen more then £500 from everyone in the family, and she still gives him money and says' don't tell the girls', the police were always round. Yet my mum does nothing to him becuase she has no one else to talk to at home except him.

She told me if i break down their bedroom door(its locked) to get my things, im on the street and they'll call the police on me. Im going to uni soon, and can't afford to move out so theres nothing i can do.

The thing is, i almost feel gulity as my mum and step-dad are so sure im evil, and doing such bad things, they say jamie was better as he didn't 'mentally abuse' mum.

My mum used to me the best, i know im a teenager and things, but what i do isn't that bad(i think) i don't drink, i don't party, im never in trouble, but i do ignore my mum and huff and puff and say shes a ***** and things and cause trouble by shouting in the house and going in the room she's in and talking loudly etc.

I mean im not nice at all but theres a reason for that, she won't talk to me about this, and says that i 'mentally abuse' her and am causing a breakdown. All i want is to be aloud out to see my boyfriend, as sometimes i have to sleep in the garden becuase they won't let me in at night. And im sure she's taken my purfume my bf got me for xmas, yet she locks it in her room and just denies it, and i have no money to replace these things.

Its very embarrssing, and people tell me shes crazy, and after everything i don't want to see her for a long time, she has made my life hell, and im stuck in the house, with no tv, no laptop, and sometimes no light to even read, yet my mum and step dad make it seem like its my fault and their suffering. I think my mum just can't handle me not being nice, and not talking to her as she's alone all day, but this is too far right? I mean WHO breaks the handles off windows so i can't go out past 10pm, and punish's their kids by not letting them eat for 2 weeks? I am alot nastier to her than my brother, but my brother was a thief, drug-dealer and totally used mum to get what he wanted, and she knew this. What kind of mother does this?

I just want to know what you'd do? She is still my mum, but there's NO talking to her, she refuses to admit to things that are blatant facts, and just says i want you gone, i don't care where, and if you do anything i'll go to your boyfriends work and talk to his boss etc. and cause trouble.
