I was just curious.
My university is really close to home, so I live with my parents. I also have three younger sisters (15,11, and 3), so I'm there for them for personal reasons as well. My house situation is very rough, and my familial bond is non existent. I don't really have the courage to go into the specifics of it all, and I'm too embarrassed frankly speaking.
I'm studying for my MCAT, but I can't keep a clear head without getting interrupted, some fight breaking out, or even thinking about the couple of situations going on in my personal life even when I'm away studying alone.
This is taking a huge toll on me emotionally. I'm taking my MCAT in October. The situation with my family is so bad, that I didn't even tell them I'm taking it. I don't want that added to the circle of things going on in the house or any criticism from here to October. I have a job, and I've saved up some money, and I've paid for it on my own.
The day of the MCAT, I'm going to drive about 3 hours to go to the testing facility, and I'll come back without telling them.
It's just really taxing emotionally.
Has anyone ever gone through anything similar? What do you suggest? My support system is literally nonexistent. I feel like I'm walking alone.
