Look, I am not going to lecture you and take away from anything you are feeling.

BUT.....

When I was 16, I hated my family with a passion. My four year old sister got more love than I ever did, my father was a violent, emotionally and abusive drunk, and my mother just cowered away and hated her life.

I did the unthinkable. I dropped out of high school and left home at 15, and went out in to the world, and lived on the hard streets of NYC. I learned my lessons, made my mistakes, struggled intensely, and survived in a very hard, unforgiving world.

When I fell hard, and I mean HARD, losing my job, my apartment, my fiancee to a jail sentence, and whatever was left of my sanity to a bipolar hell filled with alcohol and drugs, my family came through for me and saved me.

It took 20 years for things to come full circle, for my dad to calm down, my mom to gain strength and have a voice, and my sister to grow into a wonderful, responsible adult. I am living with them now, and we ARE a wonderful family, living in peace till the end of my parents come, and my sister to move on and get married.

You are young, and I am not saying that to be condescending, but I have BEEN where you are, and honestly, the fact that you feel that you think they are "stuck with you" is a horrible feeling yes, but when you are out in the world all alone, having them may not be as bad as you think.

I am not judging for how you feel, I mean I left and didn't turn back, so I am no one to argue your feelings. Hang in there, and when you are 18, you are free to go into the world and do something about it.
