Ask Me Help Desk - Parents vs. Emancipation vs. Boyfriend

Your home life doesn't sound like it is desperately endangering or anything where you could get child services to find them unfit so unless you can pull off everything to get your mother to go along with you leaving/getting emancipated I don't think there is much that can be done but wait it out until you are 18 or whatever age your state allows you to move out.

If you only knew,
My dad basically threatens us.

So unless you actually know EVERYTHING yeah I think I should be able to get out of here. And my mom won't go along with anything I say because then my dad will do something. I don't know what, but he will. And right now, my mom is just by her self acting the same way he is.
So yeah, she doesn't really care about anything he does anymore.
He's threatened to knock me out before and he's almost done it one time.
And trust me, he is pretty strong, so I'm sure he could do it, or worse.

So I don't think I'm going to risk waiting till I'm 18 to get out of this house/family.
I don't think I can...

Kayla, if it's this bad you have got to get out - I know you don't want to go to the authorities because your father said things will get worse when you get back. But what if someone actually DOES something, what if someone actually DOES get you out of there - ?

You have got to talk to someone who is on your side - I hate to use the phrase "an adult," but that's what it boils down to - and you have got to find someone who will take your side and intercede in this for you.

I'm not saying you are right or they are right but if you read back I think you know I'm on your side - if there are sides to this and I'm telling you as I see it.

Someone has to talk to an Attorney - perhaps your boyfriend's mother - and someone has to get some advice on how/where/when something can be done. It's a long Summer, you won't be able to leave for school and I sense you are very, very unhappy and things could get a lot worse.

We're just people on a message board but you have to find SOMEONE who will intercede for you.

Now think about who that could be and come back and tell us something positive.

Okay, I'll talk to them about it.
Thank you.
