What would happen if you kicked them to the curb instead of fretting over them kicking you to the curb?
Totally emancipating yourself?
That's what I had to do with my family, and it literally saved my life.
I'm not saying it was easy, but ...
Just another angle to consider.

I'm 20 years old. I don't need to get emancipated.
I know that I need to get my parents out of my life. I'm working on that. But that really isn't the issue here. The problem is that I don't want to go IP because it is terrifying and traumatizing to me. Last time I was IP, my social worker had me released early because I was so upset the whole time that I was not in a good place to make progress. I'm not even sure my situation is dire enough to need IP. I'm just not responding to the treatment my T is currently providing.
