[|AI|]  Hello...... Thanks for your query. I can understand your emotional turmoil. As you described you indeed belong to a very dysfunctional family setting. You require meeting a psychological counselor for venting out your thoughts in person. Following this interpersonal or family therapy can be attempted to modify your family roles and improve interpersonal relations. In addition, you require a thorough psychiatric evaluation and may need to be started on anti-depressants and psychotherapy (e.g. cognitive behavioral therapy) as appropriate. Hope you found the information useful. Regards Chat Doctor.
