    I'm not doing it out of selfishness. Once I'm college, I don't want to have anything to do with my family. They've managed to make my young life very shitty and no, that's not teenage angst either.

    If they were nice and the Ideal family, then maybe I could care more for them, but they're aren't and probably never will be. Some people don't change and some people do. They've hurt me to much to expect me to be "nice" to them and "stick around" either.

      Avant, you're the OP? Drat - It seems I just can't get enough of your stories, wittingly or not. XD

      I am not judging you as selfish.

      My parents abused me quite harshly, and my Mother has changed, I feel pity for them but I am still perplexed as to what to do with my father who is mentally disturbed. I'd be in quite a pickle if he retired and had no place to go.

      I understand your rationale, if they are people that are toxic towards you then you are hurting yourself by associating with them.
