My mom hit my little sister last night and i found out from my other little sister that it wasnt the first time it had happened either. She's hit me a few times but I could care less about that. I didnt think she would hurt them tho. I mean Im always afraid she will thats why I keep them away from her as much as possible but I didnt think she really would.
Anyways I dont know what to do about it. I cant tell anyone they'd take us away from her and put us in fosterhomes or something and we'd end up getting split up. That cant happen.
I dont really know why im posting this since theres really nothing you can do to help but it made me feel better to write it.

Kaylie(my sister) doesnt talk alot. She has a learning dissabilty that affects her verbal communication skills so even though shes 6 she only talks about as much as an average 2 year old and she really only talks to me. Anyways my mom said something to her but she wouldnt respond my mom kept asking and kept asking and she just kept sitting there not saying anything and my mom got really mad and she hit her.

hmm, Well if you don't want to tell someone I don't know what else you can do. It would take you alot of work to keep her away from them so she's not with them alone very often. I see that as your only option right now. She shouldn't be hitting her tho.
Did you say something to your mom about it? When she said what happened you should of just said "Oh do this and she might respond" Something you know that would get your sisters attention because if you say "Dont do that mom" she doesn't know what to do next time. Its kind of like teaching her and I think you know more about your sisters then her because you seem really close.

Yeah I do know more about them because ive raised them since they were born. My mom doesnt do shit for them so she doesnt know anything about them. Ive told her a thouseand times to use simpler words so that Kaylie can understand her and to be nice if she yells Kaylie wont respond but she doesnt listen. She hates me so she never listens to a word I say. I just have to be more careful and keep them away from her. I wont mess up again. I cant believe I left them alone with her(I was only in the bathroom i didnt leave the house or anything.) Im such a failure. I can never do anything right.

Look don't beat yourself up over it. For one you SHOULD be able to trust your sisters being with your mom. Its you mom they are her daughters. You would think they would be okay so I not your fault at all. Don't blame yourself. If you feel the only way you cna protect them is to be with them 24.7 but its going to take alot of your time and you will have no personal space. Is there anyway to stay with a relative so you don't get split up?

No I dont know any of my relatives. Its ok I know taking care of them takes alot of my time and I could care less about personal space. All I care about is them being ok and having a good life. I just want them to be happy.

Thats good, You also have to take time out for yourself also. If you don't one day you will just snap.

I already took time for myself. Not exactly doing the best things but still. I feel horrible about it. I dont need time to myself. I need to be there for them.

Dear xbrokenxdreams:
It's been a fair little while since you posted, so I don't know how the situation's developed.
I'm glad that you posted though.
You're probably right that there's really no great solution to these challenges in your life, but talking always helps.
Parenting sounds hard, and it sounds like you're doing the best that you can. That's really all a parent/guardian can do.
You've managed to take care of two other human beings - that's a lot of responsibility.
Yet, you have not thrown in the towel or thought of anything else but their safety.
Does that sound like what a failure would do?
