dunno how many of you consider your parents to be abusive (emotionally or physically or any other form of abuse) but god, i'm tired of my mom...
the physical beatings i can bear (when i say beatings, i don't mean a simple spanking.. i mean it's black and blue) but when she puts me down or tells me what i can and cannot do (she won't even let me go out later than 8pm and i'm 18 years old already for god's sake!), it gets to the point where i feel... choked... stranggled..
if that's not enough for abuse, talk about economic abuse... she takes my hard-earned money and says, "i'll keep it for you so that you won't spend it" (even though i have a checking account) and just stashes it away for her own use. i never see that money ever again... ><
i'm not really sure if i'm looking for advice (i probably am cuz i'm about to burst here) but i'm certainly not looking for anyone's pity....
i guess i just want people to know how lucky they are for having good parents.. it's way better than winning the lottery...

I know it's hard to even think about ratting out your parents, but if it's that bad, you need to at least talk to someone. I mean, if it's too hard for you, you don't have to necissarily rat on them, but try talking to people for now. when you're ready, you can try telling someone and take legal action. I know it's not as easy as they say in school or whatever, but if she's beating you like that and taking your money, you should take some kind of legal action... but I'm guessing you already know that and it won't matter how many complete strangers tell you that you should go sue her ass or whatever, it's not gonna change the fact that it's not gonna be easy. Your other option as many other people have pointed out is to move out. Again, not exactly easy if she's taking away your money and it's not easy living on your own... but one thing you have to remember about this is that none of this is gonna be easy... but you'll be better off once you've gotten it over with.

oh, didn't mention, my parents are emotionally and occasionally physically abusive. Not too bad though.
