I'm sixteen. I'll be seventeen this september. It's just me and my mom, and things aren't... too great. I'm depressed, I have anxiety, and I have begun seeing things again. (Again, since a few years back, I started seeing things) I try to talk to my mom about this things, and she either brushes me off, goes into a tyrade about how she's eiether a) had it worse, or b) had the exact same things at my age and got over them. I've been recently wanting to do some not so nice things to myself and others, and with attempting to tell her these things,and the fact that I think I should see somebody to go on meds, or some other solution, she blows up. She's a sticter LDS Mormom, and I'm a Bi/Pansexual Pagan, so... things don't quite collide well there... She tries to make herself the victim often, even when I was the one severely hurt. I'm often making dinner or doing the dishes, and she turns around and says I'm never doing anything.
I have two eighteen year old friends, and the three of us are looking for an apartment together, and have recently found a cheap one that appears to allow pets. I'm nervous, not knowing if I can legally leave (I live in Idaho). All three of us do NOT have good relationships with our parents/moms (one of my friends has already been kicked out of her house). They have jobs (and maybe cars), while I have neither. We have a bus system, a few, actually.
I just want some advice... Some clarification. I've been told that you CAN legally leave at sixteen, others say you have to be emancipated, others say you can't... I'm just confused and nervous.. I don't want to lose access to some of the things I care about, like my sister or my cat, or a few other things... I'm just confused.. any help is welcome..
