Excuse for what? I am not subjecting myself to daily ridicule and abuse and I wasn't trying to be mean . I was just being honest. They level of mental abuse she is describing is atrocious and apparently making her suicidal. Every suggestion that has been given to her has been met with resistance and or a changing of the subject. I think it's a legitamate question. Ill have you know that her current situation sounds a lot like mine was at her age minus the physical and sexual stuff and I DID GET OUT. I took my parents to court and got imancipated and then got a drivers license and slept on a love seat at a friends house for my entire senior yr of Highschool! So sorry if I'm not as touchy feely as everyone else. I do wish her luck and hate to see her in this situation, but where there is a will there is a way! I'm not bagging on her , I'm just pointing out that she isn't as helpless as she thinks she is.
