Okay so all of my friends think my parents suck and i think they suck but i also worry that im just being a dumb teenager who hates their parents. they make me feel like an idiot for almost everything i do, whenever i get a good grade they ask me why it wasnt better, they hardly let me leave the house even after ive made sure that it wont cost them money and they wont even have to drive me anywhere, they constantly call me manipulative and disrespectful but i never leave my room unless they tell me to do the dishes (which seems like the only time they ever talk to me anymore) theyve been physically violent with me before but for the most part it seems to only be emotional abuse. whenever i bring up how their actions make me feel they say that i should shut up cuz im being over sensitive. it just seems as though they dont really care about me and it just sucks, i want to move out as soon as possible and never talk to them again. my older sister did that, she had the same issues with them and she moved out the second she turned 18 and never visits? is it normal for my parents to act like this?

    Move out. Your parents are emotionally abusive.

    Some parents are like that. I'm sure they mean no harm, they just don't know anything about parenting. You should move out as soon as you can though, it's not healthy for you.

    Sounds as if they want to get rid of you the way they got rid of your sister. That's very sad but leaving home looks like the only option for you, so good luck with it. Could you stay with your sister until you get a place of your own?

    If they're physically abusive, you should move out as soon as you get the chance.

    Your parents sound a lot like mine in many ways (especially my mother). After 2 years of college, I packed up my things and moved in with my boyfriend while they were away at work. I left them a note telling them where I'd be if they wanted to get in touch with me. I really didn't care if I never heard from them again. In fact, in many ways, I would have considered it a blessing. It was several days before my mother finally broke down and called me.

    I'm 59 now, and still don't talk to them much. My mother recently called me at work, and spent over half an hour of my employer's time telling me why she and my father were disinheriting me. I'm pretty sure that was all her idea. She's one of those fundy-bun, born-again, holier-than-thou Christian types, which doesn't make her a better person - just more self-righteous and hateful. She was a horrible mother to me when I was growing up, and she hasn't gotten any better in her old age. She's now in her mid-80's and not doing so well, health-wise. When she's gone, the only thing I'll have to be sad about is not having had a normal, decent and loving mother instead of a hateful, narcissistic, abusive, control freak of a mother. Spending more time with her while she's still alive would only serve to bring more of her brand of negativity into my life. I don't need it, thanks.

    I drew a bad hand, but still managed to make the best of it. In my opinion, if your mother has narcissistic personality disorder, as mine does, the best thing you can do is leave home as soon as possible and never look back.
