Mom's House

In my mother's household, there is six kids on a daily basis, then my sister and I on the days we are forced to spend over there. A total of ten people in a five bedroom house. Two bedrooms are in the basement with a den area, bathroom, and storage area. The other three on the first floor with the kitchen, living room, dining room and sewing room, which is larger than than all the upstairs bedrooms upstairs. I am the only one without a real room. I am forced into the other basement bedroom that has no heating, no real window seal, and no curtains. This room has no real ceiling so the only thing between me and the living room and dining room is two inches of floor board. I end up being the last one asleep and the first one awake because of this. I was promised two years ago that the window would have a seal and insulation, but to this day, it has never happened. I end up sleeping on a broken day bed, in the sewing room. But it does matter where I sleep. I do not get any privacy. My basement room is constantly being loaned out to people I hardly know and stuff from the storage area thrown into it. People will barge into my room when they want and do whatever they want in my room. Also, yelling and screaming at kids is also a constant thing. No one seems to understand that standing two feet from a child and screaming at them is the equalization of beating the snot out of them. My mother will sit on her ass all day long and instead of checking up on children, she will scream and make them come to her. Her husband is a bear and is rather cruel to the kids. Two of the boys are autistic. One girl has either ADHD or Asperger's.
