My family is slowly but surely driving me mad. My mom's a pill addict and sleeps all the time and complains and takes her anger out on everyone. My dad's an alcoholic and doesn't help my situation a bit. I have now friends, no social life at all really, no car or license, and too depressed/anxious to try and fix my situation. I feel like I am actually locked inside my house. If anyone else is dealing with something like this, please comment. I need some reassurance that I'm not the only one

I'm sorry you are having to experience that. My dad was also an alcoholic and my mom was never emotionally present. If things get too bad, try talking to someone you trust in your extended family or maybe a counselor. I hope things get better for you.

There are family therapist. They study all about family. If you can go thats good. If you need money look at Youtube. There are a lot of videos teaches how to make money. Social medias have a lot of business oppounties.

I am sorry for what you are going through. My mother and father were both alcoholics and my mom was always depressed. Can you talk with your school counselor who could let your parents know that you need some professional help and counseling. If the counselor is not available to do that, try talking with a close relative or close friend of the family who can help get your parents to get you the help you need.
