Gaemz, your situation is reminding me of my best friend and now roommate when he was your age. His parents treated him ok enough so that he could get into college and whatnot, but their overall treatment of him was less than stellar according to what he's told me over the years. Essentially, he's been fucked over from his parents way too often, but it's not just them though, it's practically his entire family, and this is a big reason why he was so excited and stressd out at the same time about finally moving into a new apartment after two years. (He was finishing school)
His parents were basically so attached to him (also an only child btw) that if he were doing something else besides being with his family for long periods of time, his family would take measures to ensure he would be at home with family. It became so bad to the point where he's lost a lot of great friends and girlfriends as a result because of that, on top of moving from place to place over the years.
He was also taken off his parent's insurance at an early age because he was in "perfect" health and the parents needed to save money, and that is when his health problems came around. Now he's overweight, has sleep apnea, probably allergic to a few different foods, does not sleep well of course, but you know what he has right now despite all of this? He has a friend to help him along the way, as well as his current girlfriend. Between her and myself, we're helping him get through this, also the fact he's living with us is helping him.
Basically, what I'm saying Gaemz is don't give yourself up because it's only a one-way ticket. Once the deed is done, there's no going back. It's not like hitting the reset button on a game controller and you can just rinse and repeat, and try again. Seriously, man. Just...don't...do it.
All of us here at TNE are sort of like the soldiers in combat. We look after one another, making sure things are alright, and we try and encourage the safety of others, no matter the situation. We are not just gamers, my friend. We are most importantly, good people, with different life experiences, and willing to share our advise with others in order to make their lives better when the moment presents itself.
Hang in there, bud.
