you obviously feel bad about it so you should change.

try to find your silver lining. it's gonna really suck for a while but then it will get better. try to stay optimistic. you'll get there.

but the hard part first.

try not to let your situation keep you down. Theres no reason to take it out on your family. I think you should keep trying to reconnect with them. No sense in just giving up. Tell them your sorry.

You're not going to change until you find a purpose in life. 'Vowing to change' isn't going to work.

Do some voluntary work and then try to get back into employment. Also find something that interests you and gets you out of the house such as a sport or a book club or whatever

Treating your family with respect will follow

Remember this, your family is putting a roof over your head and the only ones who are around right now. Don't bite the hand that feeds you. When you're down (which you are now) who's there with you? Family. I bet your friends didn't stick around when you lost your job and aren't driving around, right?
Family is family, you are miserable because of your predicament but it's not anyones fault but your own. Stop acting like a spoiled brat who didn't get their way and appreciate your family.

I can only say that being a bi*ch never got my daughters anything. They tried on several occasions. But it didnt work. Sounds like typical teenage troubles to me. It will all be fine if you just try to be nicer. Good luck.

Here's an exceptional idea, one that I'm surprised no one has offered: Be an adult. That means the following:

1) Apologize to your family. Adults, upon recognizing that they've done something wrong, tell the people they've hurt. People are remarkably forgiving if all you do is say, "I'm sorry for the things I've said and done. I will try to be a better person with your help." Only self-centered people don't apologize.

2) Actually take a cold, hard look at your behavior and decide what has driven it. Then try to improve that part of your life day by day.

3) Find another job. Yes, I know, easier said than done. But once you have purpose and direction to your life again, you'll feel better.

4) Have a better attitude. Happiness is really a decision. I've known people who have had all life's advantages have rotten attitudes, and I've known people who faced terrible situations with good attitudes. Guess who came out better?
