For background I'm 18, and on my birthday I bought a vape and have been hiding it for the past week. I used to smoke, my dad has smoked marlboro lights as far I as I can remember (I have never asked when he started). My parents fight like every family. Them yelling at each other for about 10 or so minutes happens every day to every other day. Arguments lasting more than an hour only happen about once or twice a week, and a few times a year the family is basically going through the cold war for a week or twk with mostly quiet but frequent fights that last a few hours at any time of day or night. My dad is also pretty much either "normal" or a complete short fused agressive person (usually after a half dozen glasses of Almaden)I have historically been the cause of the fights and don't want to start new ones. Especially since I am 18 and they can legally kick me out at a moment's notice. And since CPS doesn't apply anymore, but that's also a good thing since I guess I can talk openly in school about the shit that goes on at home without my family being persecuted. And I don't make a lot of money in my job right now, and don't think even if I get a lot more hours I could afford both a room and food to last until I finish high school.And i don't want to sound entitled, it's not like I am just someone who does it for "fun" because it helps me with various things. Also keep in mind most of you seem to be more understanding (?) Parents than mine are.Edit: this post pretty much describes how my family is https://ift.tt/2PP2SCu 2: And none of this "talk to somebody/school counselor" or "Hang in there" bullshit via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2FD0Qku
