Age, ancestry, and law
We can make a comparison with marriage:

1. Spouses choose each other. If some outside party compels them to become spouses, then the marriage can be annulled. It doesn't matter what the motivation of the outside party is. It doesn't matter whether or not the outside party has some argument designed to show that it is "natural" for those two particular people to be married. If the relationship is not chosen by both people, then the people involved in the relationship are not compelled by law to continue to interact with each other.

2. Spouses can live apart. If they live apart for long enough, then they have grounds for divorce. They are not compelled by law to live together.

If you have particular people as immediate ancestors and your chronological age is less than a particular magic number, then is that sufficient grounds for you to be compelled by law to be under the control of those people?

1. is this cloned off a different thread?
cuz I can't make any sense of what you are talking about.

It's like walking into the middle of someone else's conversation.

3. Perhaps the final paragraph should have been at the
beginning.

2. It may depend on where you live
In the UK, you could ask to be taken into council care if your parents are being unreasonable.

6. You did not have sufficient grounds to kick.
