What would push a parent over the edge enough to kick their own child out of the house? Most parents draw the line at the use of substances and alcohol. But for others, a kid acting like a typical teen is reason enough to want them out.

TikToker Hannah Miller (@hannahbriellee_) is sharing a story about the time her parents forced her to sign a contract when they kicked her out of their house during her senior year of high school.

To this day, her parents still claim that she chose to move out, but in reality, she did not. So when Hannah was in high school, she frequently fought with her parents, especially her stepmom. They did not get along at all.

Hannah was always grounded because she kept downloading Snapchat even though she wasn’t allowed to have it.

The week before Easter, their fights had become particularly bad. Hannah’s stepmom had taken her car away for no reason.

While at school one day, she gave her parents a lot of sass and attitude when she was talking to them on the phone.

That day, she came from school with a contract sitting on the table for her that basically told her she needed to move out.

The reason her parents claimed they didn’t kick her out was that the contract contained three different options for Hannah to choose from.

Before diving into what the options entailed, Hannah explained that her car played a significant role in her decision.

When she got her car at 17-years-old, she paid for half of it while her parents funded the other half. And, of course, the car was in her parent’s name.

So the first option stated that Hannah could stay living at her parent’s house if she paid $1,000 in rent, $500 for a parking spot, and paid for laundry, groceries, and the electric bill. She also wasn’t allowed to have anybody over, and there was a curfew of 10 PM.

The second option asserted that Hannah needed to get her act together and not have any problems with chores or her stepmom, and they could go on with life as usual.

But if her stepmom ever had a complaint about Hannah, such as her attitude or her chores not being done well, they would take away her car, and she would be forced to repurchase it after graduation. And then she’d have to move out anyway.

The final option declared that Hannah’s parents would give her the car for free and put the title in her name without strings attached if she moved out by Easter.

Hannah settled for the third option, but the problem was that her car was rendered useless since she didn’t have any proof of insurance.

So she had the guy she was talking to at the time help her move out all her stuff and take it to a friend’s house.

Hannah stayed with her friend until the end of high school, then moved to Florida for college. After moving across the country, Hannah and her family are much closer now than ever.
