Abuse
He Lives with more than one abuser
The older one is a boozer
The younger thinks he's a loser
He wants to seriously hurt them each
The older one uses her speech
The younger uses anything in reach
He now drinks to stay calm
The older one wont answer to mom
The younger one is a time bomb
He sits in his dark room by oneself
The older one dis relates herself
The younger one abuses himself

HI
I like the theme and each stanza rhymes well, but they are little like lists, there might be little more flow if the third stanza rhymed with the first and fourth stanza with the second.
