Suck it up! Your reasons for going to grad school aren’t great (parents, redemption, etc.) but you’re invested in the process now, and two years is not a big chunk of your life. You will encounter lots of situations throughout life where you have to get “it” done, even when you don’t see the point, don’t like the people, don’t want to waste the time, etc. Look at grad school as practice for the real “real world” to which your volunteer experience did not exposed you.
