Child Abuse?

0

Okay so I live with my parents. I’m 17, and they don’t seem to treat me fairly. I do everything they ask me to do. Yes sometimes I have attitude but I try not to and I’m working on it. But they have next to no respect for me, my opinions or my personal life or feelings. My dad just picks on me and even I silts me by saying thins like I’m a “cranky bitch” or I’m “fat” I get called fat by him at least once or twice a month. My dad hits me hard enough tha it hurts but not for lunisbment. He does it for shits and giggles. My mom does next to nothing about it. My dad always taunts me and picks on me when I cry and he sees it. He’s the reason mos of the time for why I cry. He has threatened to ground me for 10 months just because I didn’t do a small thing he asked me to do. And he was serious. Isn’t that a bit extreme? They don’t support me. My mom wouldn’t let me borrow her computer so I could sign up for my SAT or so I could apply for a job online. She said she was using the computer even though she was nowhere near it. Does any of this count as child abuse? Emotional, physical? Anything? I plan to move out as soon as I turn 18 which won’t be til December. I feel like I can’t talk to them because they act like they don’t care and the. Expect me to talk to them. My dad acts like he doesn’t care about me unless he needs me for something what should I do?

The way your parents treat you is definitely not okay. It's abusive in nature, and I feel so bad that you have to put up with it. All I can say is to stay strong until December. At least you won't have to wait too long to get away from them.
