The only person i can talk to is my aunt as she told me all about her growing up and it turns out she was treated similar to me.My aunt to me is fabulous she is 5'0 tall and we have always got on.I usually try to stay a few nights round there if possible as i feel totally let down by people in my house.

 Buy a step-stool. And by the way, on your post it shows your age to be 41-50 years old. Surely you don't still live at home with your sisters at this age? I'm confused....

 Don't let them get a rise out of you. They are obviously enjoying your distress, so don't share that with them. Purchase a step-stool (or 2) and keep them handy. When you can't reach something, get the stool and get it yourself quietly. Don't ask for help; don't put yourselves in their debt. And most of all, don't let it disturb you (or don't let it show). When it ceases to bother you, they will stop. The high road is your best defense.
And distance yourself from them. You're old enough to decide whether you can be friends with your siblings, and it appears that you can't. They're mean and petty, and you don't need that. Save your pennies and get a place on your own, where you can keep your things wherever you want. And then don't invite them over.
