Is it normal to hate your family life

3 Comments

My parents are drug addicts and I live with them.

I hate what they are doing.

I have to put up with my dad bringing strange people over all day everyday. He stays up late renovating the house and talking loudly (He hardly sleeps) which means I hardly sleep.

I can't stand not being able to sleep and feel comfortable in my own home. I can't even hold down a casual job where I have to get up early because I'm so exhausted from not sleeping and arguing with my dad to be quiet.

I'm living on centrelink at the moment and finding it so very hard to find a full-time job so I can get out of here!.

We don't see any of the family and have no support from them either. I'm in this alone and it's driving me crazy.

Sometimes I think I would be happier staying in a homeless shelter then being so depressed living here. But those shelters are for more deserving people than i.

I really just want advice on what I should do.

Please help me

    If you're an adult you have the power to change your situation if you really want to.

    Then again, you can buy a pair of earplugs pretty cheap and that may solve your problem.

    Or you could call the police, that might get exciting.

      Thankyou,

      I have been trying to get out of here, have applied for 100's of jobs, and trying to get into the defence force all while saving the little money I have to buy a car so I can learn how to drive and get my license.

      Really hard to find the motivation while I'm constantly exhausted. Haha I have thought about calling the police but the police have raded our house 5times already and nothing has happened.

        Besides earplugs you might also look into some cheap sound proofing. A friend and I soundproofed a garage for our band to practice in and it was easy and not expensive at all. We used large sheets of that foam egg tray looking stuff (sorry, I don't know what the correct word is).

        There are other sorts of problems you could cause that would perhaps keep them busy and out of the drugs, but the sort of thing I'm suggesting would be better if not posted publicly.
