Family is being extremely frustrating, advice please?

My family is being extremely frustrating and I honestly don't know what to do about it. Moving out is not an option because 100% of my salary goes toward household expenses and toward the full mortgage payment (I can't afford to move out or everyone will be completely broke).





My family seems to delight in tormenting me as much as possible -- even though I'm in my late 20's, they insist on micromanaging absolutely everything I do, treat me like their own personal Cinderella (they expect me to do work for them 24x7x365 when I'm not working professionally), and don't even allow me to go meet anyone new or go out since they don't believe in down time. They observe absolutely no personal boundaries and every attempt I've made to try to establish them has been a failure. Whenever I disagree with them, they always try to unfairly blame me for everything wrong in their lives on me and guilt-trip me, saying I ruined their lives and saying verbally horrible things like I'm a loser and a failure and no woman will ever love or want me.





I'm literally at my wit's end here...people have advised me to move out, but what can I do when that's totally impossible financially?Family is being extremely frustrating, advice please?
I agree with Tim,obviously you are a hard worker,a grown man,%26amp; you have money! YOU have the money! Do they have jobs? Give them notice. They can move into an apartment %26amp; figure a way to get rid of the house. Then you can move into an apartment. If you don't want to move...then do what you want to do...you are a man %26amp;it sounds like you are the one footing the bills. Whoever pays gets a say as far as I'm concerned. Trust me women like men who can support themselves financially....so don't worry about what they say.Family is being extremely frustrating, advice please?
It doesn't sound like it's impossible for you to move out. It sounds like it's impossible for them to survive if you do. If it really is that bad and you're at your wit's end you could give them a time limit. Like find a way to replace my salary in the household because I'll be leaving in 6 months. And then do it.

you get ut own place.....pay your own rent....let them figure out how they are going to pay for things around there...thats NOT your problem.





pack up %26amp; say GOOD BYE!
i would ask them to respect you completely and if they can't then move out and give them 30 days notice so they can get there stuff together
Stop doing anything for them. Just refuse until they give you respect.
The reason why they are putting you down is because they need you and if you are confident enough to leave and look after yourself then they would have to tighten up their belts.





To be honest you owe these people nothing. If you cannot afford accomadation on your own try and room with somebody else who is looking for somebody to split the bill with. Even if it isn't permanant it will show your family that they need to treat you better or else.





You just have to show you don't need them. Which I think you can do.


And under no curcumstances do you try to comprimise like you still do the washing or whatever whenever you come over or you still pay part of the bill. I know it might seem harsh but it necessary
Like the others have said, you could try rooming with someone, or using the dorms at the college you attend. Or if you are no longer in college you could get a second job to help towards affording your own apartment.


You're a grown man, you dont need their permission to go out and make friends. And you dont need to do all the house work when you are helping to pay the bills, or paying them completely. If they are putting you down like that, then you do not need to be in that environment its only going to make you depressed.





Find a way to get out, and dont think about how it will effect the other people
