I’m on house arrest, not legally, but because of my family. I’m not allowed to drive, not allowed to be myself, I’m practically room bound. My mother is suspicious of me. I don’t drink, smoke, do anything wrong. I’m gonna go insane if I haven’t already.

I know exactly how this feels. I’m 19 and was homeschooled from 2018 til 2024 when i graduated. Every day I would spend doing the same activities, hiding in my room bc i can’t stand to be around my parents. They say it’s not true but I can tell they don’t want me around. They ignore it but I can see how they talk over me, make me feel insecure, etc. I’ve been a goody-two shoes my whole life but my parents(my mom especially) acts like I’m horrible whenever I make a mistake

Sorry this is happening to you :( especially if it’s for no reason. I was a textbook good kid and my mom would always assume I’m doing things I shouldn’t be and accuse me of the most outlandish things. I wasn’t allowed to lock my door, no privacy on anything. It’s suffocating. Hopefully you can get out of that situation soon. I went to college as far away from my home state as possible and it’s so relaxing now
