I (17m) have been hanging out with friends my parents don't like. I've been keeping on doing it, but recently my sister and her husband called me and said if I don't stop wasting my life with them, they'd drive over and take something from me.

I decided I was close enough to adulthood to keep my friends waiting for me, and stopped hanging out with them for now.

Driving home from school, my car broke down, and I had to spend three hours trying to get it to work. When i got home, my dog was gone. They'd sent her to a farm they've yet to disclose to me.

I said nothing and walked to my room. They stayed for dinner, so I had no choice but to sit at the table with them. They didn't believe that my car broke down, and laughed about my dog.

I talked over my sister, ignored her, and when she raised her voice to get a word in, I said something I'd whipped together in my room.

"Sitting here, I am faced with two options. Either the ghost of a 9 year old girl is screaming into my ear, or the fat, squelching pig that continues to leech of my family and has the gall to call itself a person has decided to open its mouth around me. I don't like either of these options."

Naturally, she blew up and her husband got in my face, and I asked them both if they wanted to risk my word against theirs if I called the police. They left, and my parents have this look of terror on their faces. AITA?
