I feel my parents are both mentally unstable.

Dad always has been, he’s a weak man. Mum is slowly turning the same. I can’t remember the last time she actually showed any affection to me herself, eg: hugs and things. She’s become really insensitive and cold, its not just me who’s noticed it, my sister has too, my mum made her cry today, and then all she could say was ’sorry, stop making a big deal of it’. I’ve had depression, still dealing with a lot, the oldest in my family, mental health hasn’t beem great in a long time, but I have ways to cope, I meditate, pray, get counselling, but my parents do not help themselves at all. They’re just getting worse, dads always been a manipulative and controlling jerk mums becoming the same, I can’t stand to ever be at home because they’re always in foul moods. I can see it in my mums eyes, its like she’s become living dead person, and its like she’s my worst enemy, not the same person, all those years of abuse from my father have done this to her. Dad always curses me and my younger sister and says horrible things, and says the reason the household is the way it is is because of me. He blames it all on me, when he knows its all his fault. He is a monster. My disgust for my parents grows for them everyday. They’re both just two weak people who destroying themselves and everyone else around them. I worry, about my younger siblings, because when I move out for uni, what are they going to do? How are they going to cope?

Wow, thats horrible. The only real thing I can think of, is to talk to family, about maybe keeping your younger sibilings for a while. Maybe if they see how they have changed they would be willing to help
