A female Ireland age 30-35, anonymous writes:

This kinda harps on but I want you to know the entire story

The main question is How to I communicate with my family that doesn't want to listen to me.

I,m sick of being treated like crap in my own house. I have 3 older sisters 28, 25 and 21 and i,m 19. All my sisters live at home with my mother and father and as do I. But I,m currently trying to move out because of the problems at home. The problems revolve around the 28 and 21 year old and my mother.

The 28 year old treats me like her own personal slave i have to do ever job for her or she stops off and gets really angry. She acts like a 5 year old the whole time and i really can't stand it.

The 21 year old is very sneaky she lies the whole time and acts really innocent around everyone and my mother believes her because The 21 year old I believe is the apple in my mothers eyes.

And now for my mother. She never listens to a word I say she is constantly on the laptop and Farmville ( I know _ ) like if there was a fire and me and the laptop was in the house she'd rescue the laptop. I swear she loves the laptop more than me. And She always asks my other sister does she want to go into town with her she never asks me anywere I have to ask her and when I do she doesn't sound happy about it. I have tried talking to her about this but she's to busy on the laptop SHE JUST WON'T LISTEN Even my Father said to her to have a chat with me but its always " I just want to check my farm "

I can't stand this anymore I,m trying to move out because its just breaking my heart staying at home and it only seems to worry my 25 year old sister and my father and lets not forget the 28 year old she still wants her slave in the house.

I have tried so hard to talk to my family but they won't listen. I even got angry today and they blamed it on a guy i,ve been meeting up with but its not him its them. I don't know what else to do can someone please help me....

silverlining agony auntI think if being at home is as bad as you say then moving out will probably be a good idea but this wont resolve your feelings towards your 2 sister and your mum.

Try telling your mum that you feel left out and that you resent having to slave about for your sister.

But while you are waiting to move out, which will be expensive just hang out with your friends and leave them to it.

I would also ask your mum why she asks to take your sister out but not you and explain to her that it is hurtful.

Anyway good luck with your family issues, familys can be very hard to cope with sometimes.
