Ed,
might I say how impressed I am with you. That post you put up is more mature than most of us (myself included) ever put up. Here's the dillio, you do have some major issues in your family right now, and they are biggies. Here's what the truth of the matter is..... your dad has every right to be away. After something like that, I'd flip out too. Anyone would. Your mom going hysterical, well, she made a mistake she's having a hard time dealing with. Your sisters being depressed, only natural. Here's what you can do, be supportive to them all. Do well in school, so you can go to collage, and have a way of becoming something great, because all of us at pc are going to be expecting it out of a guy as acceptional as yourself. Remember, as mature as you are, you're still a kid, and you deserve your childhood.......don't let anyone elses mistake take that away from you. You can't be the man of the house yet. You have to focus on you and your future, and as a kid, I wish someone had told me this when I chose to drop out of hs to support my mom when she was having difficulties. Things will get better, don't let this dark cloud damage the light within you. As for the psychs, you seem to have a good head on your shoulders, listen to it, and make sure to do what's right for you. I can't stress that enough. Remember this, whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Feel free to message me any time you want to. My thoughts are with you. Mucho Mucho huggles!
