I'm 17 and can't choose? Something's not right.
So i'm a 16 year old girl and my parents divorced in '05 when my mom took me and my siblings out of my abusive father's home into a safety shelter. We lived there for about three months then moved back to my town with my dad in it. I was about 12/13 at the time and my dad has more money than my mom so of course i wanted to live with him, i was young and niave. so my mom knowing it was what would make me happy let me live with my father, after a few years he moved us out of town, 2 hours away from home. he wont let me visit he treats me horribly, i'm depressed and can only sit in my room and cry. so he let me "visit" my mom this past summer and i thought if i took him to court theyd say well she's almost 17 she can choose but instead the judge was raging that my mother had no right to illegally enroll me in school, when they kept postponing court until school started...So oct 30th i had to up and leave my life, my brothers and sister my mother...just my life. Now i'm nothing but depressed here, legit. it's unhealthy i just want to be home where i belong where i'm happy and healthy. i don't understand why i can't go home i've seen thirteen year olds pick where they want to live. what do i do? please help
