Sorry to hear about your home life, it sounds very challenging. I know you are 16 but is there any way you could move out or is that not an option? Are there any other relatives or friends you could stay with?
Have you considered that maybe Stacey doesn't feel loved because she is depressed? She might not be fishing for compliments, but she might have a very low self esteem like you from being depressed. Or if she IS wanting attention then that also means something is not right with her. It takes a lot of patience being with someone who has mental health problems, and is especially difficult considering you also have mental health problems.
Do you currently see any health professionals like a psychiatrist? If not, I think it would be a good idea to see about getting some therapy to help you deal with your problems.
