i NEED your opinion on what i should do

[Unregistered]

Hi, i am 17 years old and will be 18 in one month from now. i live in the state of Indiana where the age majority to be considered an adult is 18 years old. I am thinking about leaving my home when i turn 18, because my mom is pushing me away. She feels the need to decide what guy i can like and what not. that is a big issue for me. also, she is always punishing me for the littlest things i do. she never listens to what i have to say, she is always right. i have spent countess noghts crying myself to sleep because things she has done. my borhter is 15 and he is also wanting to move in woth his dad when he turns 16. my mom is pushing everyone away. so its not just an issue between the both of us. i have thought about moving away from home before, but never really loked into it as much as i am now. i have a really big decision to make in the next month. is it understandable for me to move out? ,y grandma has even told me that she would not blame me if i did. she said that my mom is over bearing and she also believes that my mom is just pushing me away. my grandma and i do not get along alot of times, bit she is on my side with this one. i wouuld have a place to stay. thats no big deal. i also have a job and my boyfriend is buying me a car. i just dont want to have a bad relationship with my parents for the rest of my life. altho they get on my nerves, i still love him. i just think that it is time for me to take the next step in life. maybe it will wake my mom up a little. help her realize that she needs to change the way she handles things. i have 2 younger siblings, and i want them to not have to consider moving out like i am. even tho my brother already is. its pretty sad to think about. what is your opinion?

Often, youth may reach out to NRS in several different ways to discuss their situation. If a response from NRS is not visible on the forum thread, it may be that we have already provided services to that individual through another platform we provide such as email, our crisis hotline, or our live chat service (in operation every day through our website at 1800runaway.org). NRS encourages anyone in need of assistance to contact us through our 24 hour crisis hotline at 1-800-RUNAWAY to receive immediate support.
