IS it ME ???

Okay ... so I've been struggling with this for a WHILE,

I'm a 26yr old (girl/woman) & my parents are so controlling that they try to convince me that something is wrong with me! They keep blaming me for things that have been going wrong in our lives - exp. mom was venting about dads illness and said all the stress that I've done to them has caused this on him (and this is no small illness!).

I have not done anything to hurt them, nor do I want t, I still live with them, but have been taking care of everything thats mine since I was 18, and have been trying to work so I can pay my way through school because they complain about money to me. I don't ask for ANYTHING and I srsly try to help out as much as I can with my lil brother, and they STILL pretty much tell me I'm a failure.

Everytime I come home late from anything. I get lectured to this day! I can't reason with them because since were filipino I guess I'm not allowed to say anything back even if I'm just trying to explain my side, and when I do, it always escalates into a huge arguement about how they think "I dont give a damn!!" . They've called me, "just like a whore", & "get behind me satan" , and after that basically cover everything about what they dont like about me! I used to go drinking with friends a lot, smoke a lil but I would NEVER bring any of that home. Basically get out of the house as much as possible so I wouldn't have to deal with it but it made it worse!

I don't really know how to make them happy and its driving me crazy because every time they're not they complain constantly! My dad would say things like Id probably be happy if he was dead or something!! I've tried to completely avoid these things by not talking to them but i want to make things better.. any insight?

Insight? Yeah, it's time to move out and save your self-esteem and sanity. My god

Find a roommate and live on an air mattress.... that kind of toxic isn't worth any room and board.
