Hello & Welcome, Rm3273!

It seems your sadness and anger are telling you something. The following is from the Gale Encyclopedia of Children's Health, Family Therapy:
Quote:
TRIANGULAR RELATIONSHIPS. Family systems theory maintains that emotional relationships in families are usually triangular. Whenever two members in the family system have problems with each other, they will "triangle in" a third member as a way of stabilizing their own relationship.
Though I believe you might benefit from talking to a trained counselor, I strongly suspect your unhappiness is entangled with your parents, their personalities and problems, and the roles you all are playing in your family. If you do get a chance to talk to someone, consider giving them the "big picture" -- including family.
