I haven't grown up with the family i am currently with, i was adopted by them a couple years back. Its typical that parents and their children share some similarities personality and view wise but because i did not grow up with this family, i am nothing like them.
Its getting to be too much for me. I differ from them in every possible way you can imagine. Whether its religiously, politically, morally, ethnically, or just plain personality wise, i seem to just clash with them again and again and again.
It doesnt help that all of us are emotional as **** so everyone is super sensitive and reacts intensely whenever something happens. My sister cries and whines, my father gets angry and aggressive, my mother argues then avoids everyone, and my brother just leaves the house after angrily yelling.
We are the most dysfunctional family on the face of the earth it would seem. Not to mention that everyone has some sort of mental illness which makes us like this. My sister, brother, and father are all bipolar and my sister, mother, and i all suffer from anxiety disorders. What the actual ****.
I have considered moving out or going to a friends house or just running away but it all comes back to me being absolutely broke from being in college so i can't go anywhere because i am just too dependent on my family which also pisses me off due to the fact that i am reliant on people i dont have the strongest of bonds with.
My father keeps getting on my case about quitting my current job because its so far away and getting a closer one but i keep telling him that i shouldn't even have a job with the amount of classes and time i am spending at school but every time i tell him to lay off me cause im so ****ing stressed from college, among other things, he just gets pissed off and yells at me. The only reason i have a job is to support the family, which i know is struggling financially.
Don't get me wrong, i love my family to death but for the past couple of months they have been making me feel more negatively than positively and i feel like i am about to break. Sorry for the brain dump/rant.

I’m sorry you are in a situation that is stressing you out. It sounds like you’re having a tough time. Please keep posting to rant/vent as needed.

Don't be sorry for a rant. Your plate is full
