So this is the deal with my family. I have a sister who makes anyone around her miserable. I don't want to go into specifics, but she intentionally destroys anything in her path in very horrific ways. The rest of my family members are all depressed, nervous wrecks from living with it for so long. My father has always refused to do anything about it because "If I kick her out of the house, she has nowhere to go" and "If I press charges against her, then she will have a record and never be able to get a job." or "I can't stand to see my own child locked up in a psychiatric ward." Meanwhile, as I said, the rest of the family is suffering. Things actually haven't been as bad in the past about two weeks. She's been surprisingly keeping to herself, but I used to just sit in my bedroom hiding from her and think about how badly I wanted to die to get away from it. So it always felt like I wasn't worth protecting. Only she was. There's more to the story, but I really don't want to get into it all because it's something that persisted throughout my whole childhood as well as now into adulthood since I currently live in my father's house. But yeah, it was a new experience for someone to stick up for me.
