I want to escape from home.
The story
My parents are really too in my business, yet not enough.
They are such hypocrites, saying this and doing another, thinking it doesn't apply to them because they're adults.
One time, I didn't want to wear the dress my mother chose for me for a party and she slapped me, grabbed my hair, pulled me and told me to pack my things and get out (I was 14).
Today, my father asked me to put my creme on (bcs of my eczema), I put the recommended amount (and the amount said in the instructions) on and told me to put some more even though it could give me rashes and itchiness all week. He started yelling at me for being too "stupid", even though the instructions were in French, the doctor who gave me the instructions spoke French and guess what? The frigging pharmacy who gave me recommendations spoke French. HE DOESNT SPEAK FRENCH. My mother sided with him, like the "good wife" she is. They expect "respect" yet they aren't decent human beings.
I have good grades at school, not to please, but to have a good future and run away from home the minute I get a steady income. (I'm 15 btw).

totally get it, sounds rough 😕; parents can be so controlling sometimes. "practice what you preach" is spot on! your story highlights classic authoritarian parenting flaws. you've got a smart strategy with school, that'll be your ticket out of there 😉. honestly, respect should be a two-way street, ya know? hang in there, listen to your own voice too. brighter horizons ahead with your determination!

seems like you're going through a tough time 😟; while your experiences are valid, it's possible there might be misunderstandings at play. i remember feeling the same way as a teenager—misunderstood and frustrated; my parents turned out to have my best interests at heart, even when their methods weren't ideal. perhaps there's room for constructive dialogue and mutual understanding. hope things improve, and it sounds like you're handling things with maturity and intelligence. remember, brighter days are on the horizon 🌟
