If you are an adult who can isn't proven to be incompetent/completely legally unable to make decisions on your own I don't think they could institutionalize you against your will, not to mention nursing homes are usually really expensive and, you know, for people who need assisted living, so I don't get why they would threaten you with that. I'm not sure about that cause I don't know much about law, but my hunch is it would be hard for them to do that.

The threat is that I'll be sent to a nursing home if I fail to get a job/mature emotionally and can't support myself. The therapist is supposed to help me "become an adult".

You become an adult by standing up on your hind legs and adulting (yes, I know, everyone hates that word, shut up). There's no magical "Adult Badge." Get a job, get an apartment, pay your bills. Bingo, you are an adult. What the hell does "emotional maturity" have to do with the price of eggs? I know plenty of emotionally immature people who are successful at life. There's no magic badge for that either.

Generally nursing homes are for people who have trouble, like, bathing themselves or can't be alone cause they may die if they fall. That's why they are NURSING homes - because nurses work there to medically care for its residents. And that would still cost your parents a good chunk of change. I don't get your parents thought process there at all.

I have a mental disorder - nonverbal learning disorder - and I think that may play into it. I think it's condescending, since aside from social skills I have no problems functioning in day-to-day life.

DA -- That is the threat, but what a bunch of people in this thread are saying is that it sounds like an empty threat. Nursing homes don't just let anyone come live there. There has to be an actual medical reason for you to be admitted, and "bad at self-sufficiency" isn't going to qualify.

Re: OP

They can't do that. They literally, 100% cannot legally do that to you. If they cut off your pocket money, then deal with that fact, because it's the tether that's holding you to them and it's clearly not enough to actually live on.

Why don't you try starting a GoFundMe and link it to your friends? No excuses about anyone finding it or what "might happen"-- you just need enough to get out and get somewhere safe, the rest follows.
