I want to know how can I get away from my house? I'm 16, turning 17 next week and I can't take living with my mom anymore. We've always had problems before, and we (I) got counseling to fix it, but recently it's gotten a lot worse and I seriously can't handle it anymore. I want to run away but I'm afraid of her reporting me a runaway. I want to finish high school and I have a job, and know that I can't go to any of those if I'm reported as a runaway, but I can't stay here anymore. It's gotten to the point where I feel this pit in my stomach whenever I have to go home or when I'm going to see my mom, like when someone is getting bullied and have to go to school and see that bully. I've learned to deal with bullies and to cut off unhealthy relationships, but what do you do when that unhealthy relationship is with your mom?
I don't want to make a DCFS report because that'll get her in trouble ( I have three younger brothers) She only treats me like this, I just want to leave. What can I do? Is emancipation an option? I know you're not legal experts, but any advice would help!
