Stressed out. About to explode. Help?

Okay, so a few months ago myself and my other family members got evicted from our apartment. Because of this we have had to move into my Grandmas house, who is the devil incarnate. Ever since we have lived here she's gone put of her way to frustrate me, such as mumbling rude things about me as I walk by, treating me like **** and trying to antagonize me while I am infront of my mother so I get yelled at. This sounds ridicoulous but it's true...my grandma is a horrible person who gets off at seeing others being tortured. Just recently my Aunt has also moved in with us and she is just as worst when it comes to the namecalling and what not. I try to talk to my mom about it but she just doesn't listen to me. Another huge problem is the fact that I'm the only one that does anything around the house. I do everything my mom, grandma and aunt ask me to do even if I don't want to do it. But when I go off on my grandma or aunt for pissing me off they bring up the fact that I'm supposedly 'Extremely Lazy and never do anything' which is probably the thing that pisses me off the most. I just wish I could peacefully live the rest of my teenage years without all this stress, everything I have tried doesn't work, I've tried being nice to my grandma at all times even if she is trying to antagonize me or insult me, everything I have tried has failed and I just can't take it anymore and I've been starting to consider suicide lately, which I've had issues with in the past. I just need some advice on what I could do to make this situation I have better for myself before I have a breakdown.

    How old are you? Is your father present? If so, where does he figure in all of this? If not, do you have a relationship with him and what is it like? Is this grandma your mom's mother or your dad's? Are you able to get a job? It will let you go outside the house for sometime. But first, I am worried about your suicidal thoughts. Please please don't. You sound like a very nice person. I think your mom is aware of the situation but cannot do anything or feels that she cannot since she's living at your grandmother's. Do you live in the U.S? If so, I really want you to contact the national suicide hotline if you are having suicidal thoughts. I am really sorry for all that you're going through and believe me, my heart goes out to you. Call the national suicide hotline at

    Your grandma should not act the way she does, very bad, but in her behalf, she probably never had intentions of having her kids move back home. If her ideal life was to be independent and now she has a house full of family, she may be disappointed.

    You are forced into this unfortunately, no fault of your own. And being a minor, you have no choice.

    As for the suicide issue! If there is a school couselor you could talk too, or a trusting adult, you really should, with embarrasment. You are too young to deal with issues on your own.

    I hope the best for you.
