Woah, there. You are 16, and your mom is already dreading you moving out from her co-dependent relationship when you turn 18. She is dreading it so much that she is going to file to keep you as an adult.

You REALLY need to tell your therapist about the beatings, and get his support about denying this "permanent guardianship". I really fear that your parents are dependent on you to be their punching bag to feel better about themselves.

You say you have a girlfriend that called the cops. What does she think of you? Does she think you are so incompetent that your abusing parents should own you for the rest of your life? What does your therapist think?

If you really are needing a guardian, there are VERY capable state guardians available that DON'T beat their clients. The courts need to know about these beatings when determining the status of her application!!!!
