I don't know what's wrong with me

Well, with that description you sound like a sociopath. I'm not joking.

Me?

Sociopath and Psychopath are used interchangeably. That is incorrect. A sociopath is someone who doesn't or rarely does feel human emotions.

Ooh sounds like me

Lol. I am one. Not joking.

It explains a lot. Seriously.

It's not as bad as it sounds. My mom and I learned how to get along all over again, and I am going to finish school on time. The light at the end of this did cause my family to get close again so it's something...

That's good. I just wish I could do the same.

More common than people think. Also not as bad.

You just need to put in the time. All things seem easier after hard work was done on them.

It's not an issue of time. It's an issue of expectations and stubbornness.

What are the expectations and who is being stubborn? This is paralleling my situation way too closely to not ask. Feel free to pm me if you don't want to post this here though.

Roth, I literally have been going through the same thing the past few days (I'm 14), and this thread made it a lot easier to get out of my head, one of the reasons this forum is one of the best things that's happened to me in a while.

The expectations are that I will get all my chores and schoolwork done each day plus additional stuff without being asked. (I have gotten crap for not doing something I wasn't even asked to do). In one breath I'll be told that I'm on the path to becoming a homeless drug addict and in the next I'm brilliant and full of potential. They expect me to get a job even though I live in a small town so there's nowhere to work (sometimes there is but I get beat out every time.) I can't get my license until I pay for half of drivers ed. To do that I need a job. To get a job I need my license (I've had job offers out of town but I can't get anyone to drive me). See the problem?

The stubbornness is on both our parts. Their's in not believing that I'm not as smart as they think I am (I've started struggling with school, for the first time in my life.) and refusing to acknowledge my issues. When I told them I had depression they said it was my fault and I was being selfish so I needed to get over it. When I told them I have insomnia they said it's my fault for screwing up my sleep cycles and I needed to fix it myself. When I gave myself a concussion on the van door I was told that I was fine until the next day when mom saw me picking dried blood out of my hair. My stubbornness stems from that, I don't talk to them about my issues anymore. I refuse to have deep conversations with them because I'm sick of wearing all the blame and getting nothing for my efforts.

As it stands I'm planning on moving out as soon as I can get money (I'm 18 in February). I don't plan on "running away" but I certainly plan on distancing myself.

(I feel like Im high jacking the thread a little. Not my intention, I can move if need be.)

One last question, approximately where are you located. Where I am public transit is serviceable, but not great. My last job I found was started with a free PDF online of the bus route and applying to almost everywhere that employed people.

Edit I only applied where I could get to.

The town is small enough that there is no public transit.

Is it possible to ask your parents to lay the money out to get you driving and pay them back when you get a job?

Possible? Yes. Probable? No.
