Re: Mistreated by My Father
You're 18 years old, so you're an adult. If you don't like the rules of your father's home, you can move out.
You cannot take somebody else's property with you when you move out.

Yikes! I thought I had it rough growing up!
First, call 211 in your area. Contact Salvation Army, Goodwill. See if there are any shelters in your area. If you can get hold of your school's counselor, call and explain what is going on....they might be able to steer you towards help.
I would also highly advise you to plan on getting your GED.

Visit the USAF or any one of the services nearest recruiter, take the ABVAB aptitude tests - if you score well you might be offered traininig in a career field that you like - they'll treat you far better than your so called "father".
Re: Mistreated by My Father
Aaron, thank you for your time,I understand, but Some of the property belongs to him--(He purchased clothes for me under 17 using my mum's child support.) Can I take these items? Also he just purchase a new pair of shoes for me 2 days ago in which I told him in these words. "Father I am 18, I appreciate what you have done for me and appreciate the shoes, but I cannot take them as I did Not purchase them." He said they where "On-Him" and that I had to have them. it was a pair of white 35 dollar shoes and a pair of 9 dollar sandals.
I am hesitant because he keeps the receipts for everything and these are the first shoes he has gotten me since I turned 18 from him. I desperately want them to go back but it is to no avail.
Help?
Re: Mistreated by My Father
The shoes and clothing can be considered gifts.
Pack up and move out.
