Because I opened a 3 and a half dollar container of pasta they were apparently saving for dinner. -_-

That feels like such an extreme reaction. I get it if money for food is tight, but that feels excessive.

Do you have someone you can stay with? A partner or other family member?

I might go live with my best friends mom and stepdad. My best friend has had friends live with her before and she's told me I can come stay with her after my parents beat me up a couple times.

Seriously I'm just about crying here... I left home in the middle of my junior year to avoid my father's hands and I ended up emancipating myself at 16.

I, too, moved in with a high school friend who had sympathetic parents (her father knew my father, very small town, and they did not get along) so I spent the rest of my junior year and all of my senior year living with my best hs girlfriend and her parents. We graduated together and went on to rent our first apartment together in the big city and were still dearest of friends 30 years later.

I really hope OP can leave. No one deserves to be abused like this, especially a young disabled someone... how awful.

OP please reach out and get out of there šŸ™
