okay i'm 21 years old; i'm quit school last year to follow my dreams. my parents love me and all that yadda yadda.

now in the past few years i have had anger problems and arguments with my parents.

and occasionally we still do, but not NEARLY as bad.


im not in school and since i have been home (one year ago), it has been increasingly hard living day to day, and keeping my head above water. my twin brother and sister (one year older) as well as my parents, have been extremely hard on me when i have an anger flare-up. it seems they are way more supported of them because they are in school.

i see there point, but it seems really harsh that its been like 2 years and my brother and i haven't really had any sort of friendship at all. he seems like a stranger and i always try and talk to him, and have backed off to give him space, and tried being nice. but he cant get past the fights i've had with my parents; it bugs me so much because he doesnt know what it is like not having any friends nearby; i'm trying real hard to follow my dreams, and its at a tough cost b/c most kids conform and go to college for money; i just want to travel without a home, living in love (sounds crazy, but hey its what i'm made for)

i'm a humble guy and never act cocky, i just get pissed now and then because i feel my family is deep down, bitter at me for following my dreams b/c they're all living and pursuing mediocrity and money, while im going after passion and purpose;
so deep down i feel they want to make my life as hard as possible while im at my toughest time in life with no friends in my area.

i've tried talking to them and telling em that they don't act loving at all or supportive in my loneliness.. but they don't buy it and are hard-hearted.... what do i do?
