I hope you don't have to stay there much longer. I hope you turn 18 soon and/or can move out. It sounds ;like a very unhealthy environment for you, rife with emotional and psychological abuse.
Use that word with them though and they'll be like "Pssshh whatever" because THEY were psychologically and emotionally abused as children and so think it's normal and acceptable. I would NEVER ostracize my child for any reason.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
