What can I do when I hate my family?

I’m 19 years old and have one and a half years left of college. I really hate my family. I have a fan girl mother who really wants to replace me with this actress she’s obsessing over, a dad who’s never home when I need him to be because of work, a sister who’s as selfish as they can be and a brother who hates the whole lot of us and can’t wait to graduate so he can move out.

There’s practically no decent conversation in the house since I was 8. The only time people do talk is when they want someone (namely me) to do something or when they want to complain or nag about something. Also, when something goes wrong, I’m usually the one who gets blamed just because I’m the youngest or because I’m the one who’s always at home.

I’m tired of trying to be the better person and just endure since I’ve been the better person for years. Lately, I’ve tried ignoring them but that just hurts and messes with my life.

Answer #1

my answer is simple make it clear that you don’t want to be around them or get a job and go away to university far away that will make them realize what they have been doing or tell your mum sorry am not the perfect child lke this actress tell your dad why do you go out all the time and tell your sister and brother to just cool it and then shout and if you can’t do this then leave me alone hope this helps

Answer #2

Then LEAVE

Answer #3

I can relate to this since my family hates me too. I’m the youngest in mine and, my brothers and sisters don’t ever talk to me or anything. I have parents who don’t seem to care either. Maybe you could move out and live your own life. You can also go to a university. Maybe you might have close friends that are like family to you. For me, I have close friends that I’m real close to mostly from my church. You can make family with those to who you love and develop relationships with. Make it known that you are sick and tired of being the perfect one and you want to live your life without any of your family interfering in your life. We all have families that hate us but, we just have to come up with solutions to deal with them. I have selfish sisters, and brothers, but, they don’t ever come around. It would help to live on your own. Living on your own would really help. You can continue your college education. Since I live on my own, I’m so glad I have freedom from my family. I’d recomend the same for you. It might be hard though, but, if you tell your family that you want to move out, they might, or might not understand. Good luck and hope you take our advice on here.

Answer #4

Everyone hates there family at some point, but you seem to hate your family and more and more everyday. My advice would just be to take time out to breath and try to start a convertation of your own which you think everyone would be interested in. Even if it’s just asking one of your parents for help on your course, you don’t have to actually have any work to do, just ask anything(works for me). You sister probably wants the same thing as you, to be a decently happy family and is probably hiding it by shutting everyone out and being selfish. So the next time you go to the shop, bag her some sweets or something, don’t spend lots. And just make convertataion about things like what she has been doing lately or just crack a joke and basicly show her that you are her brother and she is your sister and it’s time you acted like it. If that trick don’t work your going to have to tell her to stop being so selfish and you want a sister not someone to ague with. And for your brother do the same. It always works for me and I don’t see why it won’t work for you.

Answer #5

omg..I almost feel the same way.. a lot of times I just feel like no one cares about me or loves me. No matter how much I try to be nice to my brothers they still treat me like an idoit. Everything I saw is stupid and wrong..no one ever believes me. If im sad or mad everyone’s just mad at me and think im stupid and need to shut up. There’s no respect in this house =( all I ask is for care, honestly, and loads of love! No one understands me..and I dont really have anyone to talk to it about that would acually listen and just understand. be there for me…well I think I could go on forever but…I know what you mean…im sick of trying too. =/

Answer #6

Maybe if you get a lock on your room, and have your own computer and tv etc, you wont have to see them as much? Personalise your room to how you want it.

Seriously if its that bad, dont ask for a lock, get one and install yourself.

When you are going through college, one is focused on doing their very best to learn and pass. They DO NOT need BULLSIT like this to get in the way. Maybe let them know that last one? Although I dunno if you should because it may end with bad results.

Answer #7

I can’t give any real advice on this one. If what you say is true, and that everything has been down hill for the last 11 years, then the only way that might fix the problem is family councelling. Time doesn’t always heal all wounds, and runnin away from the problem certainly won’t fix it either. So if you want it to work with your family, then that’s the only real option. However if you are fed up with them and really don’t want to fix it, then you have to ask yourself. Are you ready to leave them and can you live with that decision.

Answer #8

my answer is simple make it clear that you don’t want to be around them or get a job and go away to university far away that will make them realize what they have been doing or tell your mum sorry am not the perfect child lke this actress tell your dad why do you go out all the time and tell your sister and brother to just cool it and then shout and if you can’t do this then leave me alone hope this helps

Answer #9

I know this wont really help since you asked the question a year ago but you could do the same thing Percy(from Harry Potter) did when he got a job left his family and lived on his own for a while then his family started to REALLY miss him and when he started to visit them they were happy he had chosen to come back, so basically what im saying is move out for a few months and avoid their phone calls,letters,emails etc…then when you think they’ve cracked go visit but dont hug them or kiss them and show NO emotion at all they will think you hate em for what they did(even though you do hate them for what they did) then they might start to treat you WAY better…and if your wondering which harry potter book is the on when percy leaves I think its either the 4th book or the 5th book I cant remember. try what I told you it might work I hate my family but im too young to move out so ya HOPE THIS HELPS =)
