Hi Tara

I’m very sorry to hear that you are still experiencing verbal abuse and coercive control from your parents.

I would suggest that their behaviour is abnormal even for a teenager. I did not have my phone tracked, I was not verbally abused for attempting to date as a teenager.

I would suggest seeking the aid of a local woman’s domestic violence organisation. These organisations provide support to women for a wide variety of circumstances including verbal abuse and coercive control. Support is usually provided for abuse from anyone you live with. Perhaps they would be able to assist you with planning to move out of your parents home?
