Hey there,
No, you did not make your parents this way. The truth is that sometimes parents can be emotionally unstable and it impacts the way they parent. Some of the things you describe seem like emotional abuse and gaslighting. It seems as if your parents are trying to place all the blame on you instead of taking responsibility for their actions. You aren't responsible for their behavior. I don't think it's true that kids leave home at 18 or 19 either. There are a lot of kids your age and older who stay with their parents. Some stay because it's cheaper and others stay because they weren't emotionally ready to leave. I am still living with my dad (hoping to leave soon) and I am in my 20's.
Do you think there's any way you can get out of the house? When you feel emotionally ready maybe you can look into options for getting to college and leaving your parents.
I know things are tough right now but please know they can improve.
