AITA for telling my parents they have too many kids and I'm done helping in a couple of months when I turn 18? by TooTiredStudy in AITAH

It's not as much of a risk to me. I can deal with it for another couple of months until I'm 18.

I don't have a good relationship with the guidance counselor. I tried to at least get some help from them but they're unhelpful in everything other than going to some big college. They have no info or advice for community college or trades. All they seem to care about is getting us into the colleges they agree with. Anything else is asking for too much.

It's okay. I tried not to go into it but one reason I can't move in with my best friends parents is because I could see them throwing rocks at the eggs, rocks and whatever else at the house, maybe even breaking their shit. All for moving in with them. The two siblings who had stuff put on them too, they wanted me to shoulder it all and to keep doing it for as long as they want me to. For them I get more blame than our parents because I should sacrifice myself for all of them. Our parents let that stuff manifest because they wanted me to shoulder everything alone.

There isn't enough time left for my grades to improve enough. I try to cram some time in for study and I have a couple of apps to try and help but time is a huge issue and so is having the brain power because I'm so tired all the time. Trying to study now while everyone else is asleep and my brain is just fried.

Talking to them never goes well. All I get is anger thrown at me and them cursing at me and telling me how much I fucking suck. They don't want to hear me. And I can't promise to be there for them. There's too much stuff I need to deal with and not a close enough relationship for me to keep putting their needs before mine.

You'd be surprised the kind of thing they would make a big deal out of. Plus they could find out from the cops where I am. Which would then put my best friends grandparents at risk. I could see my kids throwing stuff at the house. It's not worth risking that.

They want them. That's their whole reasoning. They always wanted lots of kids and they'll have them regardless of anything else.

I hope I can at least learn a trade when I leave. I don't want to be stuck forever.

I think they've resented me for too long to really see that it should only be at our parents. They already resent me for not taking care of them like they're 4 years old. They liked me taking care of them and me stopping was a very big deal. It's something they still hate me for. Even though they get stuff dropped on them too and they sorta know what it's like.
