[Pluto]

I live with my mother and younger sister and its pure hell. I mean its been hell for a long time, but it is becoming too unbearable and all noticeable now that life is going swimmingly well.

Every other aspect of my life is good or satisfactory, but it seems that when I win one battle another battle presents itself.

My mother and younger sister like to insult me about my appearance, about my interests, about anything and everything with me. I have ambitions of travelling the globe whilst teaching English to students in the countries I will emigrate to and my mother says things like "you won't last, you'll give up like you did with your driving lessons and college". I remember when I bought a lady friend home one afternoon to work on an assignment, my younger sister laid into me calling me fat - FAT? I have a 30inch waist - I weight about 60.3 kg, how is that fat?

They generally make my home life less enjoyable, my sister pick fights with me for no reason, she enjoys annoying me, my mother just enjoys insulting me and its like she wants me to fail.

I recently met a girl who I have an interest in and instead of wishing me well my mother said "she probably only sees you as a friend". My sister said "She must be desperate to want to date you, you are an ugly, fat loser kid".

It affects me, but not in a major way, its just upsetting that my own family can treat me with such contempt and dislike. I feel a burden on them, I just don't belong in this house with them, but I have no where else to go. I have often thought about just getting a one way ticket thousands of miles away and starting a fresh. The temptation to do this is great, but I have made some great friends here, I am happy in all other aspects of my life, just not this.

I don't think anyone can offer me advice, but I thought I'd just type away. I ought to get a blog.

How old are you, Pluto? Are you still a teenager? I mean what's stopping you from moving out and being on your own?
