I mean to the point of being sick with stomach ulcers etc. There are really taking a toll on my mental and physical health and talking to them won't do any good because they are stuck in their ways. I am honestly thinking about going to college and never coming back bc I can't tell with all the pain that I am going through. Has anyone else been in a similiar situation. If so.. how did you cope?

If your family is causing you to become ill, then stay away from them as much as possible. That is the best solution. Stay out of their business. Don't discuss problems with them. Limit your exposure to them to just holidays, if that. You WILL feel much better when you get to college. I almost guarantee it.
I had a father who was verbally (and occasionally physically) abusive to me when I was a teen, and the whole experience caused our household to be a toxic environment. I missed 13 weeks of high school from various ailments at different times, was borderline suicidal, and was always sick to my stomach. I went to college, and after the first year, I was NEVER sick and always felt great. Still do. Since my mother and father divorced, I see her as much as I can and I still visit my sisters, but I stay away from the source of the problem like the plague. Haven't talked to my dad in ten years, and I don't feel guilty about it one bit.
If nothing else works, I would try getting some counseling. It can make a big difference, too. Good luck!

There are several people in my family I have nothing to do with for the same reasons you describe. You need to take care of your health and if being around them affects you so badly then you need to remove yourself from them. There is nothing wrong with doing that.

Yes, most of my family are self centered. They are lazy, and not really worth being around. All they do is gossip and attempt to make others look bad. My solution was to shut them out of my life. After getting revenge. Good luck

Frist of all realize that you are not responsible for their life. Everyone has to live and let live. I also have crazy people in my life. But I have learned that only they have control over theirs. so don't let them control yours.

yes and i keep my distance. i live in a different state from most of them and i just keep off to myself, my own immediate family is more important to me. i don't like drama.
