Moving out
16 years ago
So, I'm temporarily living at my aunt's house. I got into a fight with my brother and my mom. It was totally unfair, and I couldn't handle staying there.
I work my ass off in school. I know I'm not the smartest kid around, but I sure do give it my all. I passed 2 ap classes last year with 4's, got an 1850 on the SAT, and am going to College as part of highschool.
At home, my brother sleeps in until 3pm, my sister is always gone at some sort of expensive cheerleading practice/camp/competition. My dad works full time and my mom works too, and taxi's my sister everywhere. So, I'm the only one that is reliably around, working dinner shifts at the restaurant. See, we've been trying to sell the house, we've had alot of projects to do and things to clean. I've been busting my ass working on all of that, prepping the house before it gets shown, all that. I even have to taxi my sister to her gymnastics sometimes, and get nothing but cold glares from her for some reason or another.
I'm constantly harrased by my brother about being gay, telling me that he's ashamed of me, that he gets pissed when he heard that I kissed some guy, whenever we disagree it's because I'm a "cock-sucking faggot". I do all of his chores around the house, because my mom thinks he's "sick". He's doing drugs, going to parties after his graveyard shift job, and all that. It's not my problem that he's a 19 year old college drop-out that's always doped up. My sister learns from him, and treats me like shit. My father insists that "queer and fag" are accurate descriptors of people, even after I insisted that he stop.
I just can't take it. I'm not going to stay somewhere I'm not welcome. I'm staying at my aunt's for a week, then going back home. From there, I'll get my parents to buy my college books (I can buy them if they wont), and go to pax and Rainfurrest, which they promised to help pay for. (I can pay for it myself if they won't, also).
Then it's just a matter of time. Unless my brother moves out, I'm leaving the day I turn 18, or if/when conditions arise that make me pursue emancipation.
There's the status of my life.

Wow, your brother sounds like a prick, and your father sounds rather insensitive. I'm so sorry.
*hugs*
But I need to iterate that I'm very proud of you. You have your priorities well in check. And you're taking a beating to do what you know is right. That is hard.
I'm really proud of you.
All I can do is hope everything turns out well. You certainly don't deserve any of the bullshit they're giving you.
Sounds like you've done the right thing to get out of there for a bit. I mean, nobody should have to live with that kind of treatment.
*salutes* Best of luck, and here's hoping everything turns out well.
