My parents rely on me to be happy but I can't take it
Depression Support / by goldenCherry8786

...See more To start, I am a 13 year old girl with 4 siblings, most of them younger than me so I several responsibilities have been given to me from early on. My one older sister isn't much of a help most of the times, and she is one of the main causes of my "mild" depression and apparently severe anxiety. She is always fighting with my dad, which can turn to be pretty violent and hurtful, even if you aren't related to the argument whatsoever. You always feel guilty, and find a way to make it your fault. She also is pretty toxic and snarky, but I can tell she means well but is very insecure about herself. She has to deal with a lot, and my parents aren't exactly understanding. With all of her problems, she basically verbally abuses me and my younger sister. The two youngest ones don't get it, because they are her favorites, being small and all. With having a bully big sister, a younger sister who takes the brunt of it, and two toddlers, I don't get much attention. They are always working, with two businesses to handle. I never really get to talk to them. I hardly know anything about them. I know they are relying on me to be the mentally stable, happy one but it isn't my help. I only ever really get to talk with them if I'm in trouble. I don't know what to do. I feel like this is going to consume me before my bigger sister moves out.
