How many of the adults/elder ATOT members got along with their parents?

A good first step would be to try and lessen your stance of "it is me versus the not understanding world" that you come off as. "To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all...that is genius" -Emerson

It's not the "not-understanding world" it's the not-understanding me. I don't understand why they've made the choices and decisions they have. And I don't understand what I have done to get to this point with my parents and what I can do to fix it.

I'm sure there are at least ten million others in the world right now with a very similar situation to me, but I'm the only one on AT it seems as well as in my area.

Many people (even here on ATOT) have survived such things (or far worse) and went on to thrive. And the number of people who would trade places with you is probably in the billions. If your welfare is truly at risk, move in with your aunt and uncle.

I never said they haven't. I said people in the same situation as me. Hell there's the guy who may lose his daughter because of his wife's cervix collapsing, or Scott (ulfwald) who lost his 14-year-old dog as well as his grandfather in the same day. People on here deal with much great issues but everyone needs to vent once in a while.

That's understandable. My point is that a lot more people than you can imagine have hellish childhoods. I can empathize with your frustration, but only you are going to be responsible for picking yourself up and building a happy life
