I'm so confused in life what do I do to get away from family?

I'm 18 next week I'll be 19. I'm a girl.

I've been out of school for 3 years almost now, not because I dropped out by parents forced me to home school but couldn't afford it and wouldn't allow me public school.

I feel frustrated and stuck in life. I'm getting my ged and trying to get a job but I've been applying everywhere and I get nothing. I haven't ever had a job and my parents let me barely work the one they got for me.

They are very controlling my whole family is, I literally take care of house work, shopping, my grandparents. I want to be a cartoonist and I feel tied down and ambition dying.

I don't feel like a part of my family and they get mad at me for that but I get told I'm a failure or don't make sense but my brother gets praise ( he doesn't even have a license

I just want college but having to take care of the home takes a lot. My family does not clean it anything for themselves or take care of their pets.

They get drunk and high but I'm the loser because I'm unemployed and not in school. I don't want a hard Labour job

They also let me have no life or social life. They're trying to make me dump by boyfriend ( who is getting a job for him and me and is cleaning up for me) but mom keeps saying I won't be happy. I am literally not allowed to do anything without being griped at like camping or anything that doesn't include them

I try to fit in here but I just cant.

I've tried talking their argument makes no sense, just I don't understand.

    Hi my name is Jonathan. I'm so sorry about your situation, let me tell you this though it WILL get better. maybe not in one day, one week or even a month from now but it will very very soon. All things great comes to those who wait and you seem like a fantastic young woman. As for the job situation just keep pursuing places and striving to be successful. The real world is a nightmare you just have to be strong & keep fighting not for anyone else but for yourself. Have faith that everything is going to be OKAY. Stay positive even when times get tough. Wish you the best and have a blessed day.

    does sound like you need to get out

    you need to find a job and save to move out

    or a job and a friend to move in with

    ether way you need to get out of there the farther the better
