I hope for your sake this isn’t true, but I grew up in a house that’s similar so I get it. From 12-17 I didn’t get a “happy birthday.” At 17 I moved out to school. It was the best thing I ever did, I found new people who loved me and more importantly I figured out how to love me. You’ve got three years left hun, just concentrate on school, get the loans if you have to, and go. Or, if you want trade school do that instead, but again, you’ve only got three more years hun, and then you’re out, and you can buy all the damn cake you deserve.

Happy Birthday OP
