    7. Only if you screw yourself.

    Okay. The asterisk is placed there for a reason. While they cannot force you to do anything, they CAN call 911 and report that you're threatening to kill them and/or yourself and you might find yourself with a free ride to wherever it is the first responders take you.

    Other than that, at 12:01am on the morning of your 18th birthday you are free to leave and never return.

    (There is one other possibility - they rush to court to try and have you deemed incompetent and ask the court for help)

    I suspect there is a lot more to the story than is being told here so I'll just this;

    if there is a possibility you can be declared mentally incompetent (or already have), all your nightmares can come true. It is likely your parents will be appointed guardians and as such, will have as much, if not more, control over you as they do now.

    My questions are answered. Hopefully I'm just paranoid and things smooth out in the next 6 months.

    I'd suggest you leave your phone, your car and everything else that belongs to them and leave when they are sleeping.
