Don’t wanna live at home anymore

[Guest]

I’m 17 I’ll be 18 at the end of July. Having issues with my mother as she’s a single mother of 5. I can’t take the disrespect and the narcissistic behavior towards me . She acts like I’m 10 still. My boyfriends parents have offered and are wanting me to move in with them right when I turn 18 or whenever I want. I think I’m gonna leave home tonight bc I can’t take the stuff she puts me there anymore. It’s been going on for 10 years. She used to be a drug addict and doesn’t own up to anything she’s done wrong in life. I need to get away from her before I lash out and it gets bad.

Hi, thank you for reaching out. It sounds like you are wanting to go live with your boyfriend’s family to get away from your mom and how she is treating you. It sounds like your mom will not take any responsibility for her previous actions and that she has been disrespecting you and treating you like you are younger than you are. That can be very stressful to have to deal with that every day. What could happen if you leave without mom’s permission, is your mom could file a runaway report with the police and if you are found, you would likely be brought back home. If you would like to talk more about what is going on and some possible options, please either call our hotline 1-800-RUNAWAY (786-2929) or chat us online at 1800runaway.org. We hope to hear from you soon.
Be safe,
