Toxic family: inn?

When I live with my family, I feel like killing them. My parents are SO uptight--my dad is an alcoholic and my mom is a workaholic. They feel like they have to make things go their way. They constantly get on my case and act like I'm the world's worst daughter.

  • I agree with the ^^^ - also, you might want to take a look at info about al-anon (for those living with alcoholics).

    i'll bet your not (the world's worst daughter i mean)

    i think we all try to get things to go our way, but it's our lucky day when they do.

    some people are so driven. they harp on you to take things the way they do.

    it's very hard to live with an alcholic.

    i don't know how old you are, but it won't be forever that you have to live with them. get involved with things you like, join clubs, even if it's just to be "too busy" to spend much time with them. good luck kid:)

  • Move out?

    My friend never got along with his parents. Now that he visits them 3 times a year they're best friends, even look like a real family!

  • Hey, thanks a lot! I really appreciate the comforting words. You're right, the people I live with have their own thing going on, I really hope that I can get out more.
