Family Problems..Advice please!

I've never gotten on with my brother, no matter what I do. He calls me a b***h and every other name under the sun...all the time. He always gets what he wants because he's the ';baby'; - he's 16. He gets everything he wants.





My mom really favors my eldest sister (I have two) and we all know it. Lately she acts like I'm not there. She yells at me a lot. If there's ever an arguement or disagreement between me and my brother (or sister) she automatically sides with them, even without having a clue what happened (she has even admitted to this). I know I'm her least favorite and I think it's because I don't rely on her as much as the others. She has never told me she loves me but I hear her tell my sisters regularly (they no longer live at home).





As for my dad, we used to get on pretty well. He started a new job last year and ever since then he's been over stressed. He drinks a lot more than he used to - at least a bottle of wine a night (often 2 and most nights he'll also have a gin). I hear him yelling and swearing all the time, usually not at people, just because he's angry. It still upsets me though.





I don't know what to do anymore. My mom and my brother hate me and my dad is just not the same... I'm on the verge of just ending it all... advice pleaseFamily Problems..Advice please!
First, don't end it all. That's the absolute worst thing you can do for you or your family.





It sounds like your family is just going through some rough spots. You cant keep your Dad from drinking and you can't stop your brother from being a ridiculous teenager.





All you can do is respond with love to your family. If you want to have loving relationships with them, then treat them that way regardless of how they treat you. Though I would also say that getting a place of your own that's safe would be a good option.





I don't know how old youare but if you are in school, there is probably a counselor or therapist you can talk to. There should also be free services offered by charities, churches, and other organizations that you could reach out to for safe people to discuss your problems with.





If any of your family becomes abusive, I would say you should call the cops. Don't let that stand.





Good luck with everything.Family Problems..Advice please!
I'm not sure how old you are but I can tell you that the best thing for you do to would be to get out of your house. I have finally come to realize that even though it is going to put me in a financial bind, this is what I have to do. For your own happiness, get yourself away from it.





If you are too young or really do not have even close to the means of living on your own, then the only thing I can suggest is to hang in there. I know how rough it is to live in a horrible home and how much stress and depression it lays on you but just remember that there will be an end to it one day, hopefully sooner than later.





';This too shall pass.'; always remember that!
