Is it normal that my parents ignored it when i ran away from home at 16?

In retrospect, I realised that I had spent my entire childhood suffering from clinical depression. I was so unhappy. Thank God I have finally found happiness. My little brother says that it's amazing that my oldest sister (me) isn't permanently institutionalized, given how she was treated.

My Dad's house was an old four-bedroom house built postwar so it didn't have much else other than the bedrooms, a lounge, a kitchen and two bathrooms. Dad wasn't doing too well after the divorce because my Mom got the house. Dad and his wife took the master bedroom, each stepchild (girl 5, boy 3) each got their own room and the fourth room was for my sister who got there before I did. She left Mom's voluntarily because did lived near the city and Mom lived up in the hills, far away from all my sister's friends and work (my sister was a high school dropout because the home life wasn't conducive to studying). So there were no rooms left for me and my sister sure wasn't going to share hers with me as we've rarely gotten along. Initially, I was keen for the shed - it was huge, I had my own private entry (which is great when you've just discovered the opposite sex) and it had really poor quality carpet on the floor on top of the concrete. That was until I realised it was an oven in summer.

I'm not the girl who wears the same panties throughout her period. It's pretty easy to figure out who posts what on this site but it's a skill you have yet to master. Go away and shoot the things you profess, on your public profile, to enjoy so much: guns and heroin, wigsplitz.

My Mom has problems admitting to the character failings that all people have, what we call "human nature". She told me that she doesn't experience jealousy, anger, hate, anxiety or depression. She loves to play dumb because she thinks that it makes her seem unsullied and "pure in spirit". She was a novice Carmelite nun for one year before she went to college and met my Dad. She is a Catholic ideologue. She actually said to me once,
"What does 'pissed' mean"?
I said,
"It means you're angry and frustrated all wrapped up in one."
She said,
"I do not experience those emotions."
She's happy to admit to non-moral "failings" so I guess you could call it a huge problem with her "moral ego". She has no self-awareness. She also criticizes other people's appearance constantly, whether it's relatives or actors on TV. She knows she's good looking for her age but won't admit it, of course. When I call her up, she talks non-stop for 45 minutes while I just file my nails. Then it's over and she's gone. If she asks how I am, she doesn't listen to the answer. When my husband almost died, she rang up to enquire about how he was going but still spent 45 minutes talking about her own life.
When I said to her once,
"You talk a lot, just like I do. I got it off you. It's really hard on other people. It's a lot to expect people to listen to non-stop speech from someone else who isn't their college lecturer or otherwise paid to to do it."
Her response was that she had no idea and then called me a liar. Whenever I say something true that she doesn't like, she calls me a liar. It's too hard for her to face the truth.

I'm sure that you have plenty to complain about. Everything's relative to where you are in life at the moment. I went to AA with a friend and heard one person lamenting about embarrassing themselves at parties and someone else lamenting about being homeless and waking up in a ditch, battered and bruised, with an empty wallet. Both people experienced great loss of dignity. Both people suffer.

It was decades ago. I don't need another home. I have a nice one already but thanks for offering.
