I've always felt that if there is a difference, you're not doing it right. If you're being tortured right now it is YOUR doing, not H's. What is stopping you from letting go of expectations, detaching, GALing, and finding happiness in the life you have now?
Granted, long term you will need financial clarity, a place on your own, etc. But you will get that in due course. And your happiness can't be contingent upon where you live. Why must the rest of the world change for you to let go and enjoy what you've been given?
