That's what I did too^. Bided my time till I could move out. In the meantime, I just accepted that I had no support at home, and learned not to expect any. I also attempted to accommodate their wishes for me as much as possible, swallowing my pride sometimes. I worked on not internalizing the abuse they dished out.

You sound like a great kid, sensitive and responsible. I'm sorry you are not receiving validation for that by your parents. Know deep down that you are someone they should be proud of. Hang on to your sense of self. Soon you'll be out of there and can be free to heal, and find unconditional acceptance elsewhere.
Thanks for this!
