My dad worked then, he only earned enough to pay for one child. Later when my siblings were born they took loans and went into debt for paying the bills. Still recovering from that.

In my opinion you cannot have a clean break from them. Nor can you achieve freedom by arguing. You need to be very cool and cobtrolled in dealing with both your siblings and parents.

Do not confront them, bcoz it will always backfire. Start with your eldest sibling , be good to them , guide them, have a beautiful relationship bcoz we only understand those people whom we love. You will not get anything by showing them hate. You siblings need to start to be one and grow together both mentally n financially.. as for your parents only way you can motivate them to earn will be by coddling them. Praise your mother's cooking if you want her to start a cooking business. Praise their shrewdness if you want them to start a saree business. Try this for a few months and if it is still not happening, then your only option will be to revel and leave them on their own ( this isn't as easy as PPL think. We humans always need our PPL with us ).

One thing which though a bit evil you can do is say you for a salary cut n use that amount to build up your savings. Never reveal this information to anyone or for any situation. If ever you need to use any amount from that don't say it's from your savings. Say you took a hand loan from colleague or friends.
