I got kicked out last week and no one will understand my story because emotional abuse is just "family drama" according to reddit.

This has been going on since April. On the kick out day. I acdenity broke something. I told it later but I was on a walk I told my dad it was about resobilty, but while on walk he kept calling for a bit but stopped found out where I was and said I needed to buy what I broke. I didn't want to pay rent because it was made as a punishment and he raised it higher because I was being disrespectful. its hard not to be mad when my dad was yelling and lying to me. both my parents said I haven't changed they don't know I've been in an episode since April. During April I did a little mishap of a chore, they got really mad did an hour long adulting talk saying things are going to change which didn't happen. mom also said that my depression was an excuse because I didn't take my meds the episode started a bit before but its been so hard I haven't been able to take them. they also thought my paranoia was disrespectful and didn't bat an eye, I'v been paranioed because they still have access to my bank account. they also have been making empty threats went to universal, on the road they said if don't stop being mad you wont go on rides, which didn't happen I was sad and was on the road for a long time so I was a bit agitated. I also had to figure out my own rides for a punishment as well before the kick out day too. They are nice now because of a meeting, but Im worried it will still be the same if I go back. It was pretty scary living there and I still get nightmares from the events I hate that once your 21 your expected to be an adult while everyone's figuring out life. I am also autistic as well.

Maybe try contacting some local homeless group or something similar and try working out what is going on and ways to resolve it. Can you survive on the streets? It is not an easy thing to do. There are services out there to help people out. Get in touch with them. See what can be done for you.

What was the meeting Reed, who with I mean? You have a support person or advocate there who can help you manage communications between you all?

There are issues to deal with wherever we live, it's just becoming confident about dealing with challenges.

You are right, most people are not fully independent in the UK or US at age 21, as in the old days. But then I was married at 19, total disaster!

Give your family a chance and think about the things they say even if they say them in an overbearing way- most parents and adult children butt heads a bit along the way. I just read a book about parenting adult offspring which would have been very useful to read a decade ago for my own parenting!

Stay safe :)

It's like a therapist meeting they took, it just kinda frustrates me that they forgot about my mental health for 3 months and, someone had to tell them that I'm derpressed. I'll probably be on my own now not sure if I can go back after what they said to me and how they messed with my head

All families have disagreements and sometimes unpleasant dynamics. Even if you live alone you don't have to be alone altogether, unless you want to. What does the therapist think?

Do not be afraid to go back home, because your parents love you. Going home in 20s is not an issue. Life is about learning and chances.
