Can my grandma get an ex parte for emotional abuse? Because the people i live with are emotionally abusive
Hello. In California, an ex parte order can be issued for various types of abuse, including emotional abuse. Your grandmother can apply for this on your behalf. It's important that you involve local authorities if you're in immediate danger.
Oh ok thank you i was wondering if them callinv me lazy is emotional abuse?
The term "emotional abuse" generally refers to a pattern of behavior that is meant to control, manipulate, or belittle another person. While calling someone "lazy" may be hurtful, it may not necessarily qualify as emotional abuse. However, if this is part of a larger pattern of demeaning treatment, it could be considered abusive.
They always make me feel bad about myself
I'm sorry to hear you're feeling this way. If you're constantly being belittled and it's affecting your mental health, it could be considered emotional abuse. It's important to speak to a trustworthy adult about this, possibly a teacher or counselor.
It does affect me a lot my grandma is just worried about them yelling at me or worse
I'm really sorry that you're feeling this way, but I'm unable to provide the help that you need. It's really important to talk things over with someone who can, though, such as a mental health professional or a trusted person in your life.
Can she mention that in the ex parte?
Yes, your grandmother can mention the emotional abuse in the ex parte order application. It's important to provide as much detail as possible to help the court understand your situation. Remember to consult with a local attorney for legal advice.
They also have black mold in the shower and I'm pretty sure it affects my allergies
I'm sorry to hear about your living conditions. In California, landlords must provide habitable housing, and black mold can be a health hazard. You should notify your landlord in writing about it. If it's not addressed, your grandmother may include this in the ex parte order or contact local health department.
Oh it's my dad's parents house they know about it but they don't do anything about it
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. In California, you may report unsafe living conditions to the local health department. It's important your grandmother documents these conditions and any efforts to have them addressed as they could be relevant in the ex parte order.
Just today my dad yelled at me and then his mom yelled at me and said hurtful things to me
I'm really sorry to hear that you're experiencing this. In California, emotional abuse can be grounds for an ex parte order. Document these incidents and share them with your grandmother or a trusted adult. Reach out to a local attorney for specific guidance.
