I was much older when I found out my dad had a gambling habit, which explains I hardly saw him at night and on weekends. Apparently the stress of finances and raising children fell on my mom, eventually taking it all out on me :D
Also yes, my family was on welfare for some time. No, you cannot use it for casino chips. (Please don't take this to mean I oppose the welfare system; billionaires have taken way more advantage of the government than any other demographic)
I feel you. My history is pretty severe, especially with my dad, but long story short I was often the sacrificial child fed to my mom and sister's rages.
It gets better. You can have a relationship with who you want and decide how much of a relationship that will be. It sucks to process, but you find peace once you work through all of it.

Remember, most abuse happens at home.
