I'm so sorry you're having to live with dysfunctional family. I suppose you're stuck with them because of Covid? Hang in there :( I spent a year in a similar situation with family. But I recently moved out of there and moved in with my maternal grandparents. I hope you, too, get an out soon. I'm wishcrafting for you.

i think i'm stuck with them for life actually since it's a thing in our culture to just... live with our parents until we get married or something T___T but due to covid, i very rarely get to step outside of our house (maybe once or twice a month at most) so i feel like a trapped animal HAHAHA and i'm so sorry to hear that you had gone through something similar :( i'm glad you were able to move out though and i hope you're doing well with your grandparents!!! but thank you for the well wishes i appreciate it so much <3

Indian culture is the same. One way to move out though is to get a job in a city where your parents don't live; I don't know if that's a possibility for you. My job is work-from-home but if it ever changes to in-office, I might move again.

I'm still living in the same building as my parents and the rest of the family (they live two floors above me and my maternal grandparents) so it's putting distance without truly moving out I suppose.

When I lived with my family, I had work calls, my father had work calls, and the brother had college classes online (and flashy gaming) and there literally wasn't space for us all. It was providence that my maternal grandparents moved into the building and had a room to spare just when I thought I wouldn't be able to stick it for any longer. My parents were also willing to let me go live with them because nobody could figure out how to do their work in the same house as everyone else.
