Are you able to sue your parents for blocking a higher education?
Grew up in a small town where there are more people than jobs. I live about 7 miles from said town with parents that really shouldn't be parents. (Beat me with anything they could find, told me to quit school, told me I was good for nothing.) I received about $90,000 total in scholarships and grants for any school of my choice in Indiana. I was told by my dad "We cannot afford to pay back the loan," "cannot afford scholarships or grants," and "college is for rich people." While my mother said, "Don't sign a damn thing for the little ****, we don't owe him a damn thing" also stating how I'm "good for nothing" a "waste of space" and how stupid I am and "should quit school." I was denied my scholarships and grants after they refused to sign papers acknowledging them and refused to look at student aid. I had to get my parents' signatures or any other adults' in order to go, but no one in my family would help. The state of Indiana says "The child must be 23, OR make $50,000/year and Own a house to be classified as non-dependent" so I'm 26 now, still not in school working temporary contract jobs (Been 2 months since the last one) and wondering if I could potentially sue them for abuse, slander, and negligence or if I'm SOL and just need to disown them.
