Every weekend i feel like i'm gonna lose my sh*t because they basically leave my younger sister abandoned and i have to supply the paternal figure role.

Wish i could just call someone but then i would have to take care of my sister 24/7 😔

When I left home at 19, things opened up for me a lot more than I expected. But I still regret the 8 years that I was just "hanging in there" because the alternative was just so much better. I see where you are coming from, but unless the parents are only somewhat bad parents that otherwise take care of you, this is bad advice.

I see where you're coming from as well. Honestly, your mileage may vary. Do what you can in the moment. What happened to me may not apply in this situation. But if you need to talk, I'll be here.
