Well my dad constantly works and tries to stay out of the house as much as possible. My mom is depressed and doesn't (I feel absolutely terrible for saying this) really do her job as a mother. She has no control over the house. My siblings REALLY don't listen to my parents. I'm pretty much the only one they listen to. My mom relies on me to be there for her, because my father nor anyone else is. I'm kind of all she has right now. My sister is all I really have though. She's the one person that keeps me sane.

It's difficult to explain. I just am afraid to leave, and it seems so unreasonable to leave right now anyway.

Also, as wonderful an idea it is, there's no chance in me convincing me family to move. They haven't the money nor the will.
