Sorry it sounds very though for you. Your boyfriend should've claimed him on his taxes. If the IRS doesn't like to that two different households claim him then have the IRS sort it out with your parents. It sounds like he supports you and the baby so he is legally able to claim him. Second you should be able to get a bank account. If so then write the $200 to your parents in checks every month and write rent in the memo line and keep the carbon copy. You should have records and dates of everything. Money and family don't mix well so document everything. Stay in school and if things get to be abusive at home you can find help. Social services was made for instances like that. Hang in there it will get better. And it sounds like you will go far in life. Also remember your parents are older and have gone through a lot in their life they might have pearls of wisdom they just are unable to communicate well. I will be praying for you!
Teen mom issues
I'm 15 with a 10 month old son and my parents constantly pick on me. I'm still with my boyfriend on the 24th it will be 2 years together. I don't depend on my parents for anything for the baby or me. My boyfriend and I are financially stabled. He buys me clothes, pays my phone bill, the baby and I health insurance, and etc. However, he does not have a house yet. We are planning by maybe next year to get a house whenever he gets a job that pays him more. My parents always say rude things about him they bash me for being with him. We constantly get in fights for defending him. I'm so call ungrateful to them when I do this. I do nails. I don't get enough money out of it considering they make me pay 200$ every month. I don't think I can take it anymore. They are such assholes they will make me wait until I'm 18 to move out. Even though, they don't support me. They toke my sons social security and birth certificate without my permissions and claimed him for their taxes and won't give me the money. They don't support him and every bit of money we get makes life easier. I'm Hispanic. They are stubborn anything they say is right. I always avoid family gathering because everyone literally picks at me. I'm like a target. They try and stop me from seeing my boyfriend. They always try to tell me if my baby can go over his house or not. One time my dad threaten to hit me with a glass cup because the baby was going to spend the night at his house. I need breaks too. My boyfriend has his GED so he doesn't have constant school work on his back. He tries to give me as much time and sleep as he can. I feel stressed because of my parents. Oh and I'm a straight A student even with a baby. I'm in Junior Honor Society, I get invited to have dinners with the principle and all those things. It's like I'm not good enough. Can anyone give me advice? P.s I do and try to help my bf out but he tells me no that he wants me to be focused with school and he wants to take care of his family.

If it's become such a big problem between you and your parents and you and your boyfriend could prove financial and housing stability you could legally emancipate. This process may take a few weeks depending on where you are and in most states you must be 16 or older. but if you're parents are doing stuff like claiming your sons SS benefits when they aren't supporting you or your son, and if you see it as the best fit, you might just want to think about it. I know you said you guys haven't found a house yet, but when you do it may make life easier. They wouldn't be able to use you or your son as beneficiaries, you wouldn't have to worry about them causing issues with your boyfriend, and you'd legally have control over your own life. If you don't think it's as big of a deal to make you want to go through this process, then ignore this. However if you do, look into it. You said your parents won't let you leave. Here's still ways to be on your own with a courts help as long as you can prove stability. If you think you might try to emancipate just check with your state laws or you can ask me, either way I've looked into this a lot and I think that what's going on may constitute you being able to emancipate from your parent at the point that you were 16. Good luck with everything that's going on and I hope it's all worked out one way or another in the end. Feel free to ask about anything if you'd like.
Difficult situation for sure. Who takes care of the baby while you are in school? If it's not your parents, then taking the tax refund was not fair of them to do. Is your boyfriend underage too? Telling you to leave isn't advice I can give you :/ my best advice would be to try & mend the relationship you have with your parents by speaking to them like the adult you have become. I understand how hard and frustrating it must be to have no control over your life and your child, but you're on the right track getting straight A's! Congratulations for staying in school and staying focused :) if you keep that up you can one day buy your own home and live by your own rules (and show everyone you did it!) I don't know what state you live in but in Los Angeles, $200 is basically an electricity bill... If you guys want to live together just make sure you do it right! That way your parents never have to say that you needed them. It's tough for both sides but do what's best for your baby. Best wishes for you 💕(And you're actually lucky! My parents use to tell me when I was a teen that they'd disown me if I got pregnant and never see me again 😮, Hispanic parents problems lol)

No, my parents don't watch him. My boyfriend and I pay daycare. And he's 18. But thank you! I think I will just deal with it and at the end probe everyone wrong and do what they said I could have never done.
