I'm 22 and since graduation my parents have been really awful toward me. Even before graduation though they were just straight up mean. They now are constantly threatening me by telling me that they are going to kick me out of the house and such. I'd actually love for them to do so at this point. But, as soon as I say I am going they have a fit and tell me that I can't go. My dad is abusive with his words. I am constantly called stupid or and idiot and never have been respected by him. He is an all around mean guy. My mom is also verbally abusive. She is constantly calling me a failure at everything I've done. I can't blame her, but that is not what you do to your child. You encourage them. College and me have never been bff's and finding a job is harder than finding a needle in a hay stack here where I live in Kokomo, Indiana. The job market is totally horrible! My mom also is physically abusive and I have been in several physical fights with her because she was trying to hit or punch me. I only defend myself. I have never hit her. I have on several occasions had to threaten her with calling the cops and she just laughs and says go ahead. They have given me a curfew and will not let me go out of town unless they know exactly where I am and will not let me stay with anyone. The only person they will ever let me stay with is by bff. They know her so they feel that its ok. I never ask them for anything other than gas money only on certain occasions. I don't have lots of clothing because they refuse to help me buy any. They have never really bought me clothing though. Most of it is hand me downs from friends or from goodwill. I say all this to ask advice.... I want to move to the bigger town Indianapolis which is an hour away, and as much as they say that they are going to kick me out they are refusing to let me move there. If I do they are saying they will take my car and make it virtually impossible for me to move. My boyfriend is willing to come and get me and move me in with him. He lives in Indy. But, if I were to do that my family would disown me because of how they believe. I just don't know what to do anymore. I want to know how I can go about doing this without all of the hassle of them being mad or disowning me for getting out on my own. I feel I need to do this for myself though!!!! HELP!!!!!!!...
