So I left again. That was on Wednesday. It's now Saturday, and I refuse to go home until the following conditions have been met:
- He quits gambling
- Starts going to counseling for anger management and also family therapy, because honestly their relationship has gone to shit.
- Starts treating everyone with more respect than just "Do ___"

I honestly don't think it's too much to ask for, to be treated with even a tiny bit of respect. Seriously.

Do you think I went too far?

EDIT: Oh, I went to my boyfriend's. I have a joint session with him booked for Thursday, so hopefully I'll be able to go home for a while after that. I do love living with my boyfriend, but I miss being home.

Another issue you might consider is could he possibly end up forcing you back?  I know here in America, if you're under 18 the police can force you back if the parents call in on you as a runaway.  If he can, that's going to cause a lot more tensions and stress.

I don't think you did wrong or went to far, however this is one of those "it's going to get a lot worse before or if it gets better."

I don't think you went too far, but unfortunately I don't believe he'll get the message. Most people that are like that either never get the message because they see nothing wrong with what they are doing, or they see the wrong, but never seem to be able to make it right and just fall back into old patterns.

No, we don't think he'll get the message either, but hopefully he'll do the right thing. If not, I only have to put up with him for another year or so before university.

He legally can't. After 16, if you can show that being at home is physically/emotionally traumatic, and you're being cared for physically and emotionally without resorting to illegal means of gaining money, you don't have to leave.
