My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 7 months now. In the past few months my parents have been telling me how awful he is. The problem is that they don't know him. All they know is that I have known him for a couple of years and that he doesn't like how they treat me. They have spent countless years hinting at how worthless that I am. They have locked me in my closet, deprived me of food, and told me that they hated me on multiple occasions. They had formerly taken everything from me. I just recently got things back since I am living with my mother's parents. My grandparents had decided that since I am living with them that I would be allowed to see my boyfriend. They know that he is a good guy and that he and I matter a lot to each other. Recently, my mother called my grandfather and said that if they don't change their minds of letting me see him that I am going to have to move back in with them. I don't know what I am supposed to do. I'm already nearly completely cut off from my parents anyway. I don't know what to do anymore. I want to see him. He really isn't a bad guy. He hasn't done anything to make my parents hate him. Having to deal with my parents separating us has been difficult. I already have enough mental health issues as it is. It just seems like they don't care. They are acting like they don't care. I just... I don't want my relationship to fall apart because of all of this.

Any ideas of what I should do?

I am assuming your under 18. Parents that do things like locking you in a closet , no food etc,,, well that is abuse..

Who decided that you should live with your grandparents? Did child protective services get involved ?

Do you have a Therapist? Are you in treatment for your mental health problems?

Exactly what Christina said. The way your parents are treating you is abuse. If your grandparents don't know about this then they need to be informed. This is the first obstacle you need to overcome and I hate to say it but the boyfriend is really a secondary thing that should only come after you've gotten to safety. I don't know if he's a good guy or not but it's irrelevant since the only thing I can worry about regarding you is your abusive life you have dealt with.
