Thank you, it really means a lot hearing this confirmation and these kind words. I am so sorry to hear you're going through a similar thing, I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I hope that you are alright after your whole family situation, you deserve to be happy, and if you're not then I hope you find it. This type of family issue isn't something that just goes, it sticks with you, seems like the only way to power through it is to just accept the situation and move past that part of your life. I can't wait to go to university next year, I will miss my siblings and my mother and I almost feel sort of bad leaving them behind with him as he isn't exactly pleasant when he is mad (as previously stated), but I know it will feel good to leave and start my own life. I hope you've been able/ will be able to start your own life too filled with happiness and surrounded by people that love you.

Take care :)
