Does Anyone Know How To Go No-Contact??

Celc December 8th, 2022

I'm a minor and underage, however, I was wondering as to whether anyone, (whether you have, or not), has any advice for going no-contact with your parents, or even a large portion of your family. I've been wanting to and imagining doing so for years, ever since I was little. I didn't know the term for it at the time, however, I was, and still am, sick and tired of constantly being afraid of my parents due to the abuse I've endured, the emotional neglect, and a number of other factors. I'm tired of not being heard, being uncomfortable around them, and simply being traumatized. Though I haven't been abused physically, or mentally for the past few years, I'm tired of being scared of them to this very day and facing invalidation about how I feel and about who I am constantly. I'm tired and sick of it. Sick of having constant anxiety and sick of hating myself and sick of loving them all the while. I want out. I want to escape. So, does anyone have any advice on how to go no-contact once the time comes? I want to make sure that I'm prepared, and I want to be ready.

If you are a minor it is called emancipation and requires going to court so you would need a lawyer perhaps some work for a group that helps abused kids etc but in order to get help you most likely would need to file charges on parents and prove abuse ... courts tend to want to place you in foster care or in care of family if possible grandparents or other relatives.....

Yes, I’ve gone no contact with my mother. This is never an easy decision and I’m proud of you for seeing the need for a boundary. I would say the most important thing is consistency. Do not be lulled back in by guilt or false promises. You will grieve and that’s perfectly okay. Stand firm in your convictions and do not apologize for it. You deserve to protect your peace of mind.
