Question by Bella92: Can it still be considerd “child abuse” if your 19? (not legally)?
Trapped with a drug addicted abusive mother over a long period of time has been very painful. Luckily, I’m always with my boyfriend everyday but I dont technically live with him legally because he still lives with his parents, but when I’m home at my house my mother has caused alot of hurt and pain and anxiety that im dealing with because of it…. Can you be 19 and still expirience “child abuse” even htough I am technically and legally not a kid? just a state of mind wise? or does it soundstupid?
MORE SO menatlly and emotionally abusive, not physcially…

No its legally called assault and you should go to the police or move out.

Call the police to report the child abuse. Tell them that although you are 19, you have the mind of a child. That may or may not fly.
