Every family i've ever had hated me and still do.

Ok, I really don't know how to phrase this other than just saying that I'm being disowned and forgotten by my recent family for not being ghetto or at least not being ghetto enough. Well... that's how I interpret it, I may be wrong so please tell me your opinion and/or if you have a good synopsis for my issue. Oh and sorry, I'm 17 so I hope you don't mind me posting.

Well, I'm not much for stories, but I might as well tell you guys how I got in this situation just so no one can give a lame excuse like, "they're your parents and they raised you so therefore you're naturally like them and other crap like that (future reference, they didn't). So with that said I guess I should just get into my whole child life dilemma. Oh, and skip the next paragraph if you really don't want to read about my childhood and don't worry I honestly wouldn't want to read about my life either, it's already a pain living it.

The life of an unwanted and abhorred child begins here:
|--------> Before I was born I was said to be a "death baby" (a family term, don't ask for all the details because it basically mean, "the cursed child") and that between my mother and I one of us was bound to die and that everyone except my grandmother suggested (more like pleading) to abort me. Yet for some reason my grandmother with her old, strict ways and respect (It was more like power, no one ever disobeyed her even in death. I never figured out why.) forced my mother into having me as a punishment for getting pregnant before getting married. Miraculously enough though, we both survived and since she didn't even want to have me she gave me to my grandmother. I spent many years with my grandmother learning how that if I'm ever going to learn anything in life it was going to be through my own experience, not through someone telling me what's right and wrong. For so I was raised that way (With her advise of course. Which I eventually learned was always right (¬_¬) ). Sadly, though because of this I always was with my grandmother and apparently enough no one in my family liked that (Including my grandfather, he thought she was wasting her time for raising a child of which was not even supposed to be born. I know because he told me on her deathbed in hysteria if I remember correctly.), so in plain sense they were all jealous. Yet little did I know this was to bite me in the butt. Depressingly enough, when I was around 13 my grandmother eventually died of cancer and I was left alone, but as her final will and testament she wanted everyone to help raise me (Anyone want to try and be raised by a whole family who hates you? Oh and I'm not talking about 5 or so people, I mean my whole family which by guess is around 80 people, originally.) and with this began the ever so hatred I'm so keen and use to. To make matters worst, they blamed me for her death (realistically, because she cared for me so much she didn't even pay attention to her health till it was already too late to do something about it or in a religious stand point, because she was nurturing "the cursed child", which means the child of death) which put me in a bad predicament. I spent a couple of years after being kicked out, abandoned, and traded between my original family members. (Yes, I do mean abandoned as in they were trying to get rid of me, it was mostly trying to lose me in a festival, store, or forest. You know childish stuff like that.) Eventually the court stepped in and I was finally decided on who was going to raise me permanently, (no one put me in an orphanage because of my grandma's will, sadly) but because of this I was put back with the woman who was the first to abandon me, my mother. Whew, I finally got my childhood story out the way and caught up to recent times. I feel like I wrote an essay, but nevertheless now no one can say I left out any details.

Here's where the real predicament begins:
|--------> For the one's who even bothered to even read about my childhood, you are in serious need of a hobby. (just kidding) Anyways, to the real issue. I have lived with my mother and her husband for a full 2 years and to be frank I really wish someone would hit me with a car just to see if they would even care (Sadly, I did and they didn't. This time I'm not kidding). Yet the whole issue is that they have five kids of their own and to be honest they could give less if I died tomorrow (of course not compared to their other kids). They didn't even save up college money for me and every time I try to save money up myself they take it since legally I'm theirs and so is the money. I'm turning eighteen by the end of January and they have full intentions of kicking me out on that day. I usually wouldn't have a problem with this if I had some type of lifesaver, but this time I know I won't so what do I do? I tried to mingle with them, but as I said in the epilogue, I'm not like them. My mother's husband is from Detroit and are the most ghettoest and the loudest family I've ever seen or heard and I've lived in some bad places. I don't even know how to adapt to these guys (I had to adapt to many situations just to even get food in my life), but I can't curse 24/7 nor do I eat fried food 24/7 (I have serious digestive problems and fried food has screwed me more than anything, I've had to even get my stomach pumped multiple times because of that crap. I'm serious though, they eat it all the time, yet don't get me wrong I'm not trying to be stereotypical) so what do you guys recommend that I do? The only good part about this is I don't see my original family anymore, but I honestly can't tell which family I got now is better.

    Do you have any friends that you could stay with? Talk to their parents and work something out. See if when you turn 18 if you can stay with them until you figure something out. Make sure you tell them that you'll pay your part. Get a part time job after school so you don't have to be around your family, and so you can save up money! If you don't have your own bank account, go to the bank and talk to them about setting one up. If they need a parents permisson, then lock all your cash and checks in a little safe, one of those cheapos from Walmart. Most importantly, stay in school! Get good grades so you can get into a good college. I'm sure you can apply for some grants to make it easier on your wallet. I don't really know what else to say. I hope everything works out, I hated reading all of that because a: it was long, and b: it was just sad :( good luck!!

    • Thank you for your answer. It seems to be a great idea into solving my problems, but I do live in a really ghetto, suburban neighborhood and trust me no one wants anymore kids than what are theirs to begin with. The kids are also pretty ghetto, you should see our school. It's so bad that the kids practically run the school and no one even cares for the teachers (if they even bother to teach). No cops either so fights are always happening, it's also extremely over crowded. I have no immediate friends since the school is about 99% populated by ghetto people and the one's who aren't simply transfer to other schools probably a hour away (I'd love to transfer, but that requires parental signatures and a reason for transfer, which I don't have). Your idea was really good, but it wouldn't work for me, sadly. Don't get me wrong though, I'm probably the only one who has an "A" grade average in my school. That also includes English if you can't tell by how I type (I'm originally from Mexico so I had to learn English when I was around 14).

    This unbelievably sad. I don't know what's wrong with your family but I am glad there was at least ONE person in your life that cared for you.

    You seem smart I honestly think in time you'll know what to do. God bless.

    I know someone who is in an even worse situation. All I can say is, do what you can to get out of it. A life without love is no life at all. You'd even be better off alone.

    • Sadly, you're right, but I at least want to meet one person who at least cares a little bit for me. To be honest, I forgot what love even feels like if that makes sense, I guess I've just been hated too long. Don't get me wrong I am more than use to being alone (I'm always practically alone), but I do at least want someone to make me feel like something more than a piece of utter sh*t. I know I'm not, but stuff like that no matter how prideful, strong, smart, or experienced you are inside will get you a little down if you think about it. Plus, I'm sick of getting disowned, I have to go and fight my parents just to get my money back (if they don't spend it before hand), do you know how aggravating it is to have to fight your father in law just to get what rightfully belongs to you? Then be kicked out to the streets for weeks at a time. I want a freaking stable home for once!

    At least you aren't one of the 16,000 starving children who die everyday in 3rd world countries. Grow up and become a man.

    • Well I am kind of starving (I really don't get food except for what I get from school which I have to pay for. It wouldn't be such a problem if I wasn't paid by checks, which is what my family takes from me and when summer comes I might as well be, I never get food during the summer.), but I frankly agree with you. I have been a man since I was 13 (yes, I've been working since I was 13) and I don't think I'll stop being a man even now. Thanks for the encouragement.

    Can you ask your work to cash your checks for you? Stock away what you can. Then you need to get into counseling-they'll take you for free with no income. They can help you find resources. You may be able to get grants and hardship scholarships for school. Maybe even try reaching out to a school in another neighborhood and explain your situation. When you turn 18 look for a room to rent from someone, not a whole apartment. Then make your own family when you meet someone and know that you will give your family a better life.

    Perhaps, you should call the police and report them for neglect? Or talk to a school therapist, which are essentially social workers. I am sorry for what has happened to you, but none of this strikes me as being normal. Forgive me for asking, but what culture is your family from? I curious in this because of their belief in "cursed children*.

    • My original family is a mixed breed of different backgrounds, but they are for the most part (in religious beliefs, that is), Catholic Natives (not Indians from India). I never really looked into the cursed child reference though, but I think it comes from the original catholic belief (I honestly never cared enough to really look into it, plus it's too old to probably find on a new generation bible nowadays). You can try to find it though, if possible. It's most likely a dead folklore among catholics though.

      No, I haven't looked into calling the police, but that's because I honestly think they won't be of any help. Usually the police are called to my neighborhood pretty often for drug busts and fights, they've even been called to my house for my father in law abusing my mother. They are usually of no help though (a lot of people bribe them where I live). Also, I'm almost eighteen anyways so it's already too late for me to do that.

    i'm sorry for what's happening.
    In my opinion you should get a part time job since you have good grades in class. then try to move out of the ghetto when you turn 18 and find an apartment you could share with someone u know (so it'll cost less since you two pay together) then change school. you'll find a school that suits you best and then evolve with it.

    • I already got a job (multiple to be frank), but I got no friends to help and my money is usually taken from my account so there is no point to this.
