I just needed somewhere to rant.

I find my immediate family extremely toxic!

My Dad is here in the physical but absent mentally and he is a narcissist on top of that. He is very lazy but believes that he is working extremely hard. He has abused me physically so I stay away from him.

My brother needs mental help also and really thinks he’s hard done by when he’s had a better childhood than me but always has resentment towards me cos he thinks “I’m better” than him.

My Mum is trying to keep a roof over our heads cos my Dad barely brings in anything. My brother and I help her where we can cos we have our own responsibilities.

I feel like a need counselling because I’m realising I have a lot of resent towards my Mum because she said that my Dad has “always been like this” looking back. I’m angry at her because that huge choice has led me to live a life of struggle for all of us and she constant complaints about the same thing to me about my “father”. It got to a point where I wish they’d separate but they have a business together so I think she’s just firming it. Also, I am heavily relied on for everything because my brother is useless and I’m just tired at this point.

I will start saving up, so that I can live alone and get peace of mind cos I’ve reached my peak at this point. I’m tired of these bailiff letters, the same complaints about my Dad and always being the one to do everything - as if I’m the only child.

I’m just really fed up at this point. Is there any advice for looking for a nice place to rent - UK?
