Today, my parents told me that they've been having a contest to see who could punish me the most this week. So far, my mom is in the lead by kicking me out of the car near railroad tracks, and making me walk the 4 miles home in the freezing rain. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I got into a huge fight with a girl at school. My mom and dad decided to punish me by letting my three older brothers pick out my wardrobe for the next week. FML
Today, my mom made me go shopping with her. It was freezing out, but she didn't wear a coat, boasting that she doesn't feel the chill like I do. By the time we drove home she was whining about freezing to death, and now I'm stuck in a house whose heating is set to "inferno". FML
Today, my parents forced me to do chores. I worked extra slow to rebel against their tyranny. My dad then said I'm not allowed to get my learner's permit for another six months and took away my phone. FML
Today, my dad forced me to take part in a pathetic act of revenge against our neighbors, who keep parking their 4x4 in front of our house. He made me stand watch while he kept trying to slash their tires. An hour later, we were waiting for my mom to bail us out of jail. FML
Today, my parents, who are divorced, were arguing over who has to pay for my bus pass. They decided they wouldn't pay unless the other one did too. Neither will pay the £60 it'll cost for my bus pass. I now have to walk to school every day, in freezing winter weather. It's 9 miles. Each way. FML
Today, my mother-in-law grounded me because I went to the store in the "dangerous" rain. My husband says that if I don't obey then we won't work out. FML
Today, my mom spent an hour lecturing me on how I'm a doormat who lets people walk all over me, and that I needed to be more assertive. So I stood up and told my dad, no, I am not going on that forestry camp he wants me to go to. Mom sat silently by as he screamed and grounded me for the entire summer. FML
Today, my parents decided to finally kick me out of the house because they've gotten tired of seeing me "sleep around all day and being so lazy" whenever I'm home. I'm currently triple-shifting for 6 days a week. FML
Today, my parents yelled at me for 10 minutes without letting me get a word in edgeways for getting a 48 on my test. They took my phone, unplugged my internet, and took my car keys. They wouldn't listen no matter how many times I told them, "It was out of 50". It actually was. FML
Today, and for the past week, I've been incredibly on edge because apparently my dad is kicking me out but I don't know when, and my mom has told me I'm not allowed to tell anyone. She then got mad at me because I did. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Well, technically it can be considered mental abuse and emotional abuse. The way OP phrases it, it seems like she hasn't done that much wrong and if she has it could've been for petty things (like maybe having a discussion turn into an argument with their parent or something). Abuse doesn't always have to be physical, and even if the parents are (hopefully) not tormenting the hell out of OP's brain, they're still treating OP like she's a ******* joke and something there to help pass their time. Not a, you know, actual person that's kind of depending on them to help them go through life and on some level have some sort of respect. Not for her respect to be trampled over and metaphorically be spit in the face for ***** and giggles... by her own parents. The parents aren't picking on a close friend, nor a relative. They're using their own daughter. For their own stupid game. What if you're parents went, "Hey, let's have a competition on who could **** with our kid. We're bored, and it's not like her opinion matters. Let's punish her for fun. Watch, I'll kick her out of my car and make her walk in the rain for four miles. Beat. THAT :P"

There are more forms of child abuse other than physical abuse. This would probably fall under emotional abuse, also making someone walk home in freezing rain could be physical abuse if they were to get sick.

Obviously not a true story.

Because, obviously, if you've never experienced it, it must be false.
