Rachel Canning may be out of the courtroom, but she is continuing to fuel the flames of her lawsuit using social media.

Canning, 18, posted a comment about her situation on her official Education For Rachel Facebook account, relating it to Bristol Palin's teen pregnancy using a photo of her famous mother.

"Rachel is being treated the same way Bristol Palin was treated when her dreams of going to college to get a nursing degree were cut short by her teen pregnancy at age 17," the Facebook post stated.  "It looks like parents nowadays would try to find any excuse to give up their parenting responsibilities."

The comment is a direct jab at Bristol's mother, Former Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin.  Canning argues her parents should be financially responsible for her education even after she turned 18-years-old.  

According to The New York Daily News, Canning claims she left he parent's home because she dealt with verbal abuse from her mother and inappropriate affection from her father.  However, her parents claim she left on her own volition after telling their daughter she had rules to abide by while living in their home.

"We love our child and miss her," Sean Canning, Rachel's father, told USA Today about the case. "This is terrible. It's killing me and my wife. We have a child we want home. We're not Draconian and now we're getting hauled into court. She's demanding that we pay her bills, but she doesn't want to live at home and she's saying, 'I don't want to live under your rules.'"

Canning appeared in court on March 4 to ask a judge for emergency financial support while the legal proceedings went on.   The judge denied Canning's request for funds from her parents to pay her private school education.

"Do we want to establish a precedent where parents live in basic fear of establishing rules of the house?" Bogaard asked the courtroom during hearing, the Daily News reports.

The Canning family is due back in court on April 22.
