My brother is under house arrest, quite possibly for the next decade.

So my brother, 18, has been using the phone a LOT lately. Last night I found out that he's actually been calling some girl in Australia. I didn't know about this or I'd have said something, but he told my mom that he was just using regular anytime minutes. When I found out about this, I flipped out and showed them the Cingular site where it had the rates listed (upwards of $3 per minute!). This prompted my mom to check out her phone bill. The grand total is so unbelievable that it needs to sit on its own line:

SIX. THOUSAND. DOLLARS.

My mom's credit is already bad enough, so this is a nightmare. I'm gonna have to go with her and take out a loan so she can pay the bill, and I honestly don't know what's gonna happen to my brother. This is insane.

My brother would have to lock himself in his room to protect himself from our mom and I'd have to sneak in food five times a day.

As for your family, I actually feel most sorry for your mother. That's a terrible thing that he did to her and she's really the one suffering. hug.gif

Oh, no kidding. She's been breaking down at random intervals ever since we found out. I feel horrible for her. And my youngest brother is scared for Danny Ray (the one who's in trouble), and I'm basically just sitting here thinking about how we're gonna handle the financial troubles.
