I really hope you consider continuing to talk to someone in school or elsewhere. A lot of the times when adults fight they try and hide the arguments but aren't very good at it. Sometimes it can be weird when they come in with a smile and you know they've been screaming.
Let her handle her life, while you focus on you. You've lost a dad ( in a way ), your ma already has a new boyfriend (they're already fighting), and it sounds like sometimes this gets taken out on you. Since you can't effectively talk to your mom right now, you owe it to yourself to find someone who pays attention to you and listens to your problems.
I hope things get easier. Here's a national talk line people use when they have problems and need someone to talk to. 1 800 273 talk.
I would call a psychiatric hospital and explain the story to them and ask what you or they can do. Remember it would only do her good! She needs help thats all.
She has probably had just way to many shitty things happen to her. Hope I helped :).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
