Hey,
So I'm F17 and I have a serious problem. I was adopted by my adoptive father from my biological father due to the extreme verbal and mental abuse I was going through in that household. I was forced to eat hot peppers if I lied, I was treated as an outcast and was not allowed to be with the family when they went out to a movie, and I went through emotional strain due to the custody problems between my biological father and my mother.
After I was adopted, my brother started doing drugs and left our home, which put a lot of weight on my mom's shoulders. This was a few years ago, and then she started to take out her stress and anger on me. She would hit me in the face and body, pull my hair, bend my arm painfully, and she would do other things like take my money away from me, my car keys, my IDs, my clothes, and even my makeup. She still does these things sometimes today, but I just try to stay out of the house as much as possible and keep my doors locked. My room is right next to theirs in our house, so sneaking out is not an option for me.
I only have until May until I graduate, but I will not turn 18 until next August. I have nowhere to go and hardly any friends who could let me stay at their places.
What do I do, and where should I go?
I live in __.
