what should i do?

well this is a long story. but honestly, i need all the advice i can get. my mother is a 43 year woman with the mental compasity of a 13 year old. (seriously tests say so) and she will not get a job and take care of my two youngest siblings and when help is offered to her she will not accept. several of my family members have tryed to help her. I am 19 years old and seriously conflicted. i pay for their school pictures, yearbooks and dances. so they dont miss out on some of the things i have. their father pays so much child support he cant even afford to live in a trailor house, so he definately cannot afford an attorney and yet he makes to much to get state assistance.

What pains us the most is we never get to see them and never know if there is a roof over their head or not. the last time my father seen his two younger children he hadnt seen them for two years. how terrible is that?

I was previously removed from my mothers custody by the state and the division of child and family services.(for abuse) and for some reason the judge saw no reason that the other two children be removed. I would love to take on the full responsibility of taking care of my siblings. but I dont really have the smarts my self to raise any children. now i know this is a bunch of jabber and poorly organized.(shows how well college writing worked for me .. lol) but i would love any opinions, ideas,or information that any of you may have. I am at my witts end with this.
