I am trying my best not to go to a shelter because I've heard shelters aren't good places to be. But I also have no friends to rely on. So far, the golden child of the family is really pushing my buttons and starting stuff. When I'm around people that can do no wrong, it makes me feel like I can't endure this anymore. All I'm trying to do is go to work, come "home", save money, and put on my headphones. But dealing with my moronic sibling is really pushing me over the edge. People really don't understand how big headed this ***** is.

And it's driving me insane that no one has told me the answer to how to deal with people like this. How do I deal with narcissistic idiots without stooping to their level?? How do I not let them get to me so I can save enough to get my own place? How do I survive??

For anyone that's successfully survived psychotic relatives, how did u do it and keep your cool?

I'm not certain how living with your sibling prevents you from saving money?

One day at a time, I guess, is the needed approach since you both live under the same roof.

Stay out of the house as much as possible meeting new, nice friends. Hopefully ones that could be roommates.
