[Joso]

you are brazilian

save up enough to move away then do it or get a job somewhere else idk how it works in brazil

Not all Brazilians are triracials lol
But that is not important,
let stick to thread's topic.
Moving away maybe would be a good idea but even if i get a home, it would be hard to mantain as i am jobless now

with such parents one of you has to take over the parent role. Youre old enough to be the "parent" of yourself and your siblings cos they are basically neglecting you. or contact another family member for help. Good luck I hope things get better X

You won't change your parents so the only thing you could do is leave and live on your own. It would be easier if some distant family member (uncle?) could help you.

Sorry to hear about your problems. My advice:
- Talk to them in a very serious manner. I doubt it will help but still you can try.
- Raise enough money and move out if they don't understand. It might take a few months but you'll probably feel better after that.
- Seek professional help (visit a therapist if you feel like you need it).

As for the religious side of things - remind them that that's not how it works in Christianity. I think I can go toe-to-toe with extremists, who just use religion as an excuse for their comfort on behalf of others.

Matthew 7:21-23
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’

Colossians 3:13
"Bearing with one another and forgiving one another, if someone happens to have a complaint against anyone else. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also forgive others."

1 Timothy 5:8
"But if someone does not provide for his own, especially his own family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever."

James 2:14
What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him?

Etc. I can continue, but you get the point. Damn, it's their family in question. Christianity overall is a joke, but if it wouldn't be, they are not even living up to their standards. Feel free to confront them on their ground, you actually have the advantage in there.

Maybe you are the failure, but you think your parents are the problem, you spoiled brat.

They put food on your table, work for you, pay the bills, respect them and try to please them.
