(((((((((inny)))))))))))

you have every right to be mad...these people are using you.

You are not afraid of hard work, you are smart.....BUT you deserve to be treated like everyone else in the family.

It sounds also that your are dealing with teenages...!

1. Get out to save yourself, you wont be alone, either find a flatmate, or your bf will be around to escape from his family.

2. Get out to save your relationship.

3. Get out and enjoy your independance that you are work so hard for.

Re: the abandon child...so many of us have that. Get the adult (YOU) to tell the inner child that it is OK to do this and that You will take care of her...tell and give the inner child a big hug......I hope you understand what I am saying.

Best wish and wonderful luck to you
