After my mother died, I lived alone for a few months in the house where I grew up, with my grandmother in the house next door. On this one particular summer night, right after I turned 17, I told my grandmother that I was going to go into work for a little bit to fix a fence in the swimming pool (I was a lifeguard, and the fence was a safety hazard). Work was literally one block away; I took my car just so I wouldn't have to lug my tools.

I came home one hour later, and there was a police car in front of the house. She had called the police to report me missing when I had been gone for all of about 50 minutes, at a location a block away.

my mother is my main legal guardian, they are only side ones since i live with them as well as her. there should have been no issue if i got permission from my own mother and had family besides her (such as my brother) who also knew where i was/have my location and told them so when they called. my grandparents chose to ignore it all and blow everything out of proportion anyway.

Sounds like you need to have a serious talk about boundaries and rules with your grandparents. Boundaries going both ways. If they want you to follow rules which are too strict, they can lose you because you'll just move out when you're 18, so being mindful of your need for independence is important.

Your grandparents are liable for your well being. Your mother's permission doesn't mean anything and you know it. Technically your boyfriend committed a crime and contributed to the delinquency of a minor. You've gotten off fairly unscathed, be more mature next time.

i think the worst part for me is that they called my brother, who lives nowhere near us but still has my location on iphone. and he told them where i was and that i was fine, because we had a conversation about all of this and we tend to talk every night. yet they still chose to do what they did. they are not scared of me ending up like my mom, they threaten me with it, but i really do love my mom and i’m proud of how far she’s come especially considering the things they’ve done to her for much longer than they have me.

my mom was actually not okay with me spending the night with him at first, but after a few months more and a few scattered discussions, she agreed to trust me on this so long as i agreed to be responsible. she is not damaged goods and her opinions aren’t to be overlooked because she is trying. she’s doing amazing and she hasn’t touched anything in 6-8 months now. she raised me, my grandparents did not, which is why i’m not a narcissist. i wish i could provide more information on the numerous other things my grandparents have done to me and to the rest of my family (one incident even involving my younger brother moving in with his father halfway across the country), but i fear that kind of thing would be too specific. they also specifically stated that when i turn 18 and even older they are still going to call the police on me if i do something they do not approve of, whether it be moving out of their home or other actions.

You are a piece of shit. You coerced her and forcefully undressed her (sexual assault)

I hope she runs and never looks back. If you want someone more feminine to protect your stupid masculinity, date someone else instead of forcing it on someone else.

You have traumatized her and abused her. If you care about her at all, apologize, leave, and never contact her again.
