I'm so sorry to hear about your situation. Must be a hell to go through.
Some of the things you wrote relate to me when I was younger and lived with my parents. I love them to death (and loved them then), but they didn't understand my mental illness and backstabbed me all the time... If I dared to love them I would find them yelling and shouting at me, blaming me the next day. And it literally broke me apart. I was this tiny little creature not feeling well at school due bullying (but those people I did not love) and not feeling well at home because there was no understanding. Like if I was near killing myself and my parents found out, they would just yell at me when I most needed love and support from them. And I was just trying to repeat my mantra: I love you, I love you, I love you. And I couldn't stop loving them, no matter what.
I do not know what is you exact situation, but I know it can be terrible to live in a situation where a person you love is hurting you at the same time. And for me, I couldn't escape that, at least not until I was old enough. So I was there for years and years... The same hell... Good times too, luckily, but the ongoing hell behind it all. I was lucky there was finally a way out and nowadays I have a loving husband who does understand me. Nowadays I can safely love my family.
I really really really hope everything is going to be fine with you. I hope you can hold on to the bits and pieces and keep yourself together. I really hope there is an end to the pain - or at least to the situation and then time to heal from it. Anger and hate are terrible things to live with...
And I too was in a situation where I had no where to go. I wasn't safe at home, nor at school... Pain everywhere... For different reasons, but still pain. I was lucky enough to find this one person who was my strength, who made everything durable. I think all you need is one person. For me the person wasn't really able to change things, but she was able to listen, she was able to give me that strength. Strength to see a future - or the possibility that there could be a future for me. And she was someone to talk to. And she cared, even though there was no reason she should care.
I hope there is this one person for you too somewhere. Or several. I hope there would be a huge bunch of people. But sometimes one is enough. I would not be alive without my one person. I hope there is someone who can take a bit of the pain and anger, who can take a bit of the weight of your shoulders. And no matter how bad the situation, there might be a future. Just think there might be a future. Possibility that there could be a future worth living through whatever you are living through. You might be so much happier one day and that time of your life would be worth it. It happened to me.
