My lazy dad makes me do most of the chores.

Ive never lived with my mom and my dad has done everything he could to not work a job. He was always unemployeed and just scraping by on his dead parents money and government founds. When it came to me, he would do the bare minimum required and complain about it. Every day he would pick me up hours after everyone else because he ‘didnt want to deal with traffic’.

We ran out of money and had to move in with my deranged aunt and uncle. They eventually got sick of us and made us live in a mouldy RV on the edge of their property.

Once I was old enough to work I began taking as many hours as I could to try and prepare for moving out. I was working 40+ hours a week. In the meantime, my dad was working not even 10 hours a week. Hes not in great physical condition but his job isnt very demanding either. If it was, he could switch to something easier but he doesnt.

I get home from work exhausted most days. He only points out how messy the house is (Mostly his doing, I go out of my way to get my trash up so he cant claim any of it is mine) and how the cats dont have any food or water despite me having been gone for 8-9 hours and unable to check on them. He refuses to take care of them and work for 5 minutes.

When he does on the rare occasion clean, he always has to bring me into it.

He keeps asking me why Im not applying for college yet every five minutes. I keep telling him that Im trying to get enough money to leave first and he gets angry at my answer.

Hes always critisizing me. I dont know if hes ever been proud of me. Im sick of it and just want out but inflation is making it harder than ever. My aunt and uncle throwing out death and suicide threats on top of their drug abuse isnt helping either. Its all too much and Im scared that I wont be able to leave before I become like them. Physically Im sore from working so hard but mentally is even worse. Im so tired
