92. “Forced at 14 to Be a Parent to My Out-of-Control Brothers”

Ariana’s father was killed five years ago, and she claims ever since that day, her mother, Jodi, checked out completely as a parent and started dating and going out, leaving her to raise her destructive and violent 9- and 12-year-old brothers. Ariana claims her brothers’ behavior is so out of control that one of them killed the family dog, and the other gets strip-searched for weapons at school every day. Jodi says she always has her children’s best interest in mind, but Ariana says that couldn’t be further from the truth.
