It makes me feel crazy. I honestly feel like I am the only one who can see how bad it is and how much worse it can get. I feel alone and scared. I hate being able to see the obvious.

Obviously, this isn't working for you. It's a reaction and is relieving but being able to not let these things cause this effect would feel much better.

Where does a person turn when they have given up all hope. Where does a person go when they can't bear to try to change what needs to change.

A therapist is a person to go to who can help you with this. What you learn will be life changing and will help you in all areas of your life. You will be bound to encounter people just like your family all throughout your life. With therapy, you can learn now how to change the response from within you, no matter who you are up against. It is empowering and it sounds like that is something that you would like to feel - empowered!
