I have been in a similar situation. My parents care for me, they have sent me to college, and I feel I should be thankful. but home is just not a good place for me to be. things go downhill so fast.

Can I really resent my family that much, or is this just a part of my illness distorting reality for me again?

my question: What do you FEEL when you are home? THAT is YOUR reality right now. It might not be a good reality to be in, but it's where you are. You have to try to figure out what you can handle and what you can't. If you can't handle being home that's OK, that's GREAT that you can say that. WHY you feel that way may take longer in coming.

If you don't think you can handle being home, can you try to segment the summer into parts? Is there somewhere else you can go/visit?
You don't have to put it that it's because of them. You can explain that you want a new experience... it really depends on where you'd be staying. But do consider it... I really think it's ok if you don't go back home, if that's what you need find a way to do it .
