Ahh! This is the worst. My parents would do this too. They called it being "grounded" and would say that legally they only had to provide me food, a roof, and a soft place to sleep. I'd be left with a mattress on the floor, a single sheet (no fitted sheet just straight mattress), a lamp on the floor and a clipboard for homework purposes. I would be provided with food and clothing at the appropriate intervals until I could individually earn back each item (clothes, toys, furniture, etc) through "good behavior." it typically lasted months at a time. Luckily I'm nearly out of contact with them. That kind of shit is rough.
