venting

[JustSabrina]

So i know this is a place for questions. But i just need to vent judged or not. I have a 17 year old brother  who has a 23 year girl friend who has a 7 and 4 year old. I had to move in with my parents because living out where i am is really expensive. Well anyways they treat my brother like hes this perfect angel and when he does something wrong they take it out on me. When hes gone they take it out on me. I work a full time job t pay my bills and  i never ask them for money. My brother has a horrible attitude to act grown in from of his girlfriend. Ive spoken my mind. Ive let them know theyre stressing me out. And that im worried its effecting my baby. But apparently it isnt helping. Idk what to do. I have no friends. No one in my family cares. Im lost stressed feel like im getting depressed i wanna give up and dissapear but no where to go.

Ugh, that stinks.  I understand how that must feel.  Pretty terrible.  I would do all you can to get in a position to get out of there.  What about another area where housing is less expensive?  I live in a pretty major city in the US and one bedrooms here go for 400 to 600 a month.  It just might not be feasible to live where you are at.  I know you are expecting and moving away is probably a daunting thought but if I were you, I'd plan for where you can START a life for you and your child.  This place back home sounds like it is not going well and going nowhere.  Your other option is to pursue friendships to see if you can build a live outside your home with friends and eventually find a roommate and move out.  It's really the only answer.

It's very difficult once you are an adult to live as a child in your parents home.  And living by a child means to me having no say or control.  You are about to be a mother----  you need your own place and life especially if your folks aren't supportive or are stressing you out!

If your income doesn't allow for it now, think about what you can do to boost your income.  Job training, career training, more college courses, etc.  Begin that to work to get out of there.  You're your own person and don't need to feel this way.  Okay?

good luck sweetie

Thank you. But 1 bedrooms run at about 1300 a month. Way more than i make

That really sounds like a rotten situation, try finding a very small apartment maybe so that you don't have to deal with the people around you and carry on, I really hope your situation gets better
