As a child I was emotionally abused by my parents, and to say that they were controlling is an understatement. I was treated like a marionette doll. Every aspect of my life was up to them. My friends, my love life, my schooling, my interests, my hobbies, my passions, my dreams, the music I listen to, the movies I watched, the clothing I wore, my spirituality, my political beliefs, my sexuality, my emotions, my feelings, and so much more. If I attempted to defy them in the slightest. Well. I don't want to talk about it. But at midnight 3 days ago (my 18th birthday) I woke up my parents and gave them a big "fuck you" and some middle fingers. I trashed the house and took anything important to me and left. I'm currently at my friends house who was emancipated at 16 because he was physically abused. For the past few days I have been getting very drunk and very high. But now the question is what do I do now? How can I reclaim the childhood that was torn away from me?

Looking for something that is long gone will only get you in a hole, OP. Look for ways to recover and to become someone you're proud to be as well as someone free from their past. Also the habits of drinking and playing with drugs will take you to much lower lows than anything you've faced with your parents, ensure that you'll never have even a glimpse of a childhood, and fuck your future. Not good for you, friend.
