I am 18, I turn 19 in September. My dad treats me like I'm still 15. He tells me 2 come home early and that if I don't then he will call the cops and tell them that I'm a runaway. He also has said many times that if I'm at my boyfriends house then he will call the cops & lie 2 them & tell them that the family sells drugs in the house, "Just so the cops can go there & make u look stupid." I'm tired of BS. It has gotten 2 the point that all we do is fight. I want out of the house. But again he threatens 2 call the cops. There has 2 b something I can do. It has gotten 2 the point that he pushes me around. There is a part of me that doesn't believe him bcuz I feel he is just saying these things to scare me. There is another part of me that doesn't even want 2 test him for fear of starting problems with my boyfriends family. I have been with my b/f for 1yr and 1/2. I'm scared of what my dad is capable of & don't want 2 get my b/f's family involved. Can u give me info on what 2 do?

If you're all hey I'm 18 and I can do what I want, and you're such a big girl that you don't need your dad, move out.
Your dad cannot call the cops on you for leaving. However, he can stop you from coming back into the house.
If you really think your dad will call the cops and tell them your boyfriends family sells drugs, let him, your dad will get arrested for lying to the police.. yes it is against the law to lie to the police.
The worst that would happen is that the police would come check out the situation. they would need a lot more to go on than your dad making a phone call to get a warrant to search the house.. even if they do, if they aren't selling drugs the police wont find anything, so you shouldn't be worried.
If you and your boyfriend and his family are completely innocent, there is nothing to worry about.. but if you're that scared of your dad calling the police, something tells me there's more to the story. And dad's usually do not take that drastic of measures unless they really feel there is something to worry about.. so I suggest finding out what your dad is so worried about.. but since you're 18 and such a big girl.. you probably already know, but of course, you know more than your dad, and what he feels cannot possibly be right..

It sounds as though no matter what you print off your computer and show him it is not going to work. What you need to do is move out. Once that is accomplished anything he does after that you can easily prove in court (phone calls, neighbors see him harassing you, etc). If,after you move out, he keeps calling the police and there is no warrant for it, that is harassment and the police could help you with copies of the complaints he made, so you can get him to stop. It sounds as though he knows nothing of the laws, because if you file a false police report that is a offense that could put him in jail. I would not worry about him. Let him call the cops and file that report, then you will have the house to yourself.

You're 18, you're an adult. The best thing you can do is get a job and move out.
As long as you're living in his house, living on his money, then Daddy makes the rules.

This is harrassment. You can look up your state law, and show him your rights. You can do this. Go to local support agencies if needed!
