Bad Relationship With Parents

[embo27]

My parents and I never get along. They do not trust me at all and the only time we ever speak to each other is when we're screaming at each other. They constantly say things like "You're a failure to our parenting", "We're so embarassed to be around you", "I'm ashamed of you", and my mother has even come out and told me that she "f***ing hates me" and that she "is sick and tired of me being around". They think I do drugs and all kinds of bad things. I am not allowed to do anything with my friends out of school and they won't even buy me any clothes. If we go out to eat with my whole extended family, they'll buy everyone's meal except mine - I have to pay for my own food. I know I will be able to support myself when I turn 16 since I am doing it now. It has been this way for at least 3 years now and it's starting to get to the point where I am very unwell. My teacher said she thinks I have a very bad case of depression because of all of this. I need to get out of my house and away from my family but they won't kick me out or let me live anywhere other than home. But the thing is my parents and I all know that we hate each other. We've all told each other this and they still won't let me leave. I am almost 15 and know that when I turn 16 I will try and get emancipated so I just wanted to get everything together.

How much money do you make?

Are you in Florida too?

If so, you see that in that state, the parent's would have to initiate the petition.

Seems like family counseling could do your family some good.

im in michigan. can i initiate it here?

Having someone else support you isn't going to be looked at as being self supporting.


You can go to this thread to learn more about the process.

If family does not want to counsel together, you should at least discuss your problems with a school guidance counselor.

How do I do that? Is there a number I can call or something?

[panther10758]

1-800 4 a child and they will connect you with a social worker in your area. You can also contact Law Enforcement, Your teacher, school counselor all are required by law to report abuse
