That sucks my man, this is why we have a benefits system in the UK (Unfortunately a system that is abused and wastes tax payer's money on lazy people) but the solution is pretty difficult...
Are you able to establish a communication with your sister - you know to help you fix your problem with living there, make her aware of your unhappiness, surely she should listen to you.
Also, remember your health problem thread, it sounded a lot like stress and anxiety and this is what is probably the reason - I'm afraid you need to address that and how will your Nephew's life be affected - yeah it's a selfless thing to stay, but remember your life and health are important too and if they are compromising it without even considering your welfare, then they can't be worth living with...I see it's the 1-year old that is the problem...And that is the difficult question - is there any way you can help pay a little towards the child's life or if anybody in your family can get a job to help out with a child - I mean if that means the mother going to work, will there be any body capable of babysitting or if paying for a babysitting is cheap enough? These are things for your family to consider if you're going to leave them.
But really, don't think you're sacrificing the welfare of a child, but they're sacrificing your welfare because they won't see to your needs and you do need to look out for that...If you can do anything for the child, do what you can, I'm sure they're not heartless enough not to give him a decent life?
Perhaps think of it this way - if you finish your education, you can get a better job than if you don't. This can be used to support your sister and nephew in later years.
Of course it is still a bloody pain of a decision and I don't want to make it for you, because it may be the wrong one as I'm not sitting in your situation and wouldn't know what I would do.
Just one more thing to think about 'should my life be ruined because of my sister?' If the child's is ruined it's her fault, though I know you will feel responsible, because it's your decision, so would I, which makes it really difficult.
I love Nancy DrewG, but not insert brain here
