eagerly chasing the end

My parents had a pretty bad fight earlier today over some of my college fund stuff. As a result I had to take my little sibling away from the room to keep them safe. It's not the first time I've had to do that before, last year we had to leave the house and go to my friend's house until my parents stopped fighting because we genuinely feared for our lives and safety.
And it made me realize something: when I'm gone, there'll be no one to keep my sibling safe from my parents when they fight. I'm already moving away from my family (the new environment might be good for me since I'll be away from my parents), but in that case, who'll be there to keep my sibling safe? It'd be so much worse if I caught the bus, because not only would my sibling have to deal with the loss, but they'd have to deal with my parents fighting as well.
Not to mention, my parents fought earlier because of me. If I caught the bus, they might fight even more and my sibling would be much more emotionally affected.
But I can't help it. I can't help wanting to die, and I feel horrible and selfish for it. If I died, things would be so much worse for my sibling because of my parents, but it's also (somewhat) because of my parents that I want to ctb. I'm selfishly wanting to die for the sake of freeing myself when I'll make things worse for the one person in this family that truly didn't deserve it in the slightest.
I hate that my parents fight over me. One part of me fantasizes that they'll fight less if I'm gone, to unite over their grief, but I know deep down that they hate each other more than they love me, so they'll realistically fight more and blame each other for my death. If I was killed by someone else they'd be less likely to blame each other than if I killed myself, and my sibling's safety would be much more likely.
I think I'm trapped in an endless...purgatory? Hell? I don't know. I have to live for the sake of keeping people safe, but I don't want to. I really don't. I want to be freed from that responsibility forever, and the only way I can do that is if I died.
