My [real] Angst [hueg liek xbox]

Reznor, I think the best approach to your situation is simple. Just leave it. Okay your Dad is a bit disturbed and insanse to live further away from work and be entertained far too much by porn. Your Mom being some online sex seeker or whatever. And your brother, well, nothing you really can do about him at the moment. But you, you're still in okay condition. So, what are your options at this point?

Well, for one, I hope you're in school at the moment. Higher education is almost the key to getting out of these types of situations. Basically, to have a life.

Secondly, you can opt to stick by your family and try to keep them focused on life. But your parents are probably under the most stress as they feel the impossible had been presented to them. "I can't afford to pay for all these things and get my son back, why lie."

And also, I wouldn't try to feel depressed at all to what's going on, if I were you. I know it may be easy for me to say so, but you've really got to look at it through another perspective. It's pointless.

My Dad once lived through a similar type of situation during his growing up days. But not to such an extreme level of intensity. His parents always argued and fought with each other. His Dad would lose his temper often and break something. His brother was hopeless, a delinquent who only knew one person, himself. Looking at that collection of people, my Dad sticks out as the shining star and last hope for the family. The only person who can really push forward and better his life than trying to fix his parent's relations with each other. Or trying to motivate his brother to taking education more seriously. He'd always be frustrated by the constant arguing or blaming from his parents & brothers, but he had one driving hope remaining. "I've got to get out of here."

You cannot stick with your sinking ship and hope to magically have it cruising again. Get the heck out and better your life. All it takes is a piece of flimsy paper with the declaration of some degree of study you specialize in.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
