Emotional, verbal and physical abuse Emotional, verbal and physical abuse

1 year ago

I am a 17 year old girl, will turn 18 in a month and I have been abused from as long as I can remember by my parents.

At the age of 14, I was diagnosed with Epilepsy and depression. I was seeing a psychiatrist until recently when my parents refused treatment for depression, saying it doesn't work. There have been multiple incidents that I remember and many more that I don't where I was a victim of such abuse. I suspect myself of having bipolar disorder and want treatment for it but that too has been refused.

There are times where I don't get food because I had a fight with my parents. Physical fights have often left marks and bruises on my body.

I want to get out of the house but I'm unable to because I'm financially dependent on them. Everyday fights and abuse makes it very difficult for me to concentrate on my studies.

A.Dear Client
You are eligible for Maintenance though its better to approach your cose relative and share your problem. It would be better for you to look after for some job so that you can be financially free.
Hope it Helps

A.Hi client,

Your parents are legally liable to look after you. If you have any elder / relative who can help you sort out this matter, contact them. Go to the police station of your area inform them the entire thing. Currently not suggesting you for filing a suit against them, as you will be requiring a lot of aspects,.

Thanks and Regards
Simi Paul

A.Hello Client,

This is really unfortunate to hear, you must lodge a complaint against your parents if they are abusing you as much as your are saying at your local police station so that the police warn them not to.

There are several NGO, who help in such situation. Try to contact them.

Thanks & Regards
