Agreed, since you are 18, you are on your own. Your parents have no obligation to provide support any longer.
However, the fact that you were adopted may provide an interesting issue here. If you can prove abuse, there might (and it's a long shot) be grounds that the adoption was a sham. So it wouldn't hurt to consult an attorney who would listen. As I said it's a long shot but worth a try. People have sued over stranger things. |

At 18, unless your parents signed a contract with the school to pay them, they do not owe you a penny. In fact many richer parents find cutting their kids off is a way to make them find their own way in the world. Of course you have to learn to live on low income which is harder for kids from richer families.
But you get a full time job and go to school part time and get on with your life. |

I find it very important that parents raise responsible adults. So many lack in that area. So, when they have to go out on their own, they lack the skills to do so. It's true it hurts and you probably feel alone. Doesn't matter if they are rich or poor. To sue them will only prolong pain. Since, they were abusive it is a good thing you don't have to be there. You are not alone. There are people who care. Look forward and don't look back. You won't be able to watch where you are going and will lack in setting goals.. keep busy. I'm sorry. Once you are 18 although deemed an adult by age.. it still takes time to actually fly. Takes practice. My best to you. Oh, at age 14 I came to realize my parents weren't just parents. They were imperfect human beings that continue to make mistakes just like me. Learning to let go of anger will be the best way for you.
