I dont really Know

So, I don't really know what to say, people tell me I am selfish and ungrateful, but I work so hard for what i have I work to keep my home life away from me.

I need some opinions-

(Dot points of my Life)

My mum drinks a lot- but i still love her 

My dad always says he is going to leave for the night and never dose and everyone has to pretend nothing has happened after their fights. 

My 2 brothers and sister are all younger than me and think nothing is happening. 

 Oh and my mum did lose her license for being over the legal amount of acholic but not over mid range

My nan who is meant to be nice and loveing speaks down about my mum and that makes me sad

I also go to school and hate it because its a waste of my time - I also do a school based apprenticship and I think I am pretty good at what I do.

 

 

So sorry if this is too long.

I just get so sad sometime I then feel its too much to get up and move 

and i dont know what to do

As the eldest child, you may be unnecessarily (or unfairly) carrying the weight of parental squabbles (and general disharmony) in the family dynamic.

Might it be that these assertions of selfishness and ingratitude closely precede/follow such tussles?
