I can relate , I’m 21 my dad is controlling and very strict , I have hopes to move out for college he doesn’t want me to go not until he’s died of old age which is ridiculous he already pulled me out of college At 19 , he constantly blows up my phone to find out we’re I am when I go out and I can’t have friends or date ,or travel or work he doesn’t know about my boyfriend 🤭 so I went behind his back and got everything I wanted and I’m happy I did that , he’s so mentally Abusive too he’s abused me nearly all my life so far , my teen years was no existent with my dad until I went to college at 17 I went behind his back and applied , I know it’s hard but you have to go against them in all ways to get your power back , you have the rights to live your own life your legally an adult. That’s just a bit of what my dad is like , I wanted you to know you aren’t alone there’s always someone with similar experiences to you or problems ❤️ Since you can get online try searching for adult services to help you get out of there. I didn’t do it that way but everyone’s situation is different but if you can without them seeing then contact them. If they watch your phone then maybe pack a bag and leave during the night go into a women’s shelter if you can.

I had a friend in Uni who's parents did the same to her although she was younger. She recovered from it and was a strong person so ride with the punches and know that at the end of the day it was them doing the looking and you growing stronger

The good news is that it is over and I have my clothing back. To prove a point I refused to get dressed the day they said I could and went another 3 days naked. Dad hated it! So I think I win and wont be asked to do it again.

what kind of abuse are you referring to?
its often difficult for people your age as they attempt to push back against traditional values and ways of their parents.

That's really difficult and sadly happens all too often. Much would depend on where you live and what resources are available there. I hope things get better for you.
