What should i do about my family?

Why would you stay. There is a lot of ways for you to get funding for college so stop using the fact that your dad is a loser to keep you from going. Your dad is a loser and a horrible parent to play extreme favorites with you and your siblings. Where is your mother in all of this. There is something that has caused your dad to act like this. I don't think he deserves a chance to do right by you, but I think you deserve to know why he has chosen to treat you like dog doo. You may never get an answer sometimes that is just how it goes but you should try to have a mature discussion with him about how much pain it has caused you over the years, how scared you felt not having enough for food and clothes. How incompetent you feel when he shows no concern for you and how extremely unfair and dysfunctional it is treat your daughter like a red-headed step child. Also, to not have spoke to your siblings for 8 years in the time frame of your ages while living together is not healthy. Certainly you should try to find something in common with her and attempt to repair this division. It may be too late if she is so spoiled and thinks of you as a red-headed step sister who deserves nothing too, but you should still try. I say continue to live there rent free and get a pell grant or something to help you get started in school. Let your other family members know that your dad is not telling them the truth. Maybe you can live with one of them while going to college or see if they can help you out even just a little bit. This may be your ticket out or may prompt them to make your dad take proper care of you. Either way you have to move forward with your life and going to college now is what is going to help you get a proper start to building your future and regardless of your family, you are going to have to be the one who makes it happen for you. Good Luck!
