Re: im leaving

Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us at the National Runaway Switchboard. It sounds like you are having some difficulties with your mom right now. It must be difficult to feel like she loves all your other siblings but you. Have you tried talking to her about this? It sounds like you both have some pretty strong feelings towards each other. Have you considered trying to work on your relationship with your mom? If so, what are some ways that you feel may improve things? Is family counseling at all an option? If so, we could provide you with some resources based on your city/state.

You also mentioned running away tomorrow after school. What is your plan? How will you support yourself? In most states it is not considered illegal to runaway, but it can be considered illegal to harbor a runaway. What this generally means is that if you stay someplace without your parent(s) position, then that person could potentially get in trouble. How do you think your mom will react if you leave? We are not in a position to tell you whether to run away or not, but if you would like to talk to someone at our hotline, 1-800-RUNAWAY, we would be happy to discuss options with you. We are anonymous and confidential and we can be reached at anytime should you decide to give us a call. We wish you the best of luck.
