Answer #1

Sorry you are going through this. Its important to have support and someone on your side at this time. If you can, why don’t you stay with your dad. It would be so unfortunate for you to be on street with no food and shelter. Try calling social services, you are a minor and you need to be under the care of an adult.

Answer #2

You need to go to a court and be legally emancipated. But you have to have a better reason than you just don’t get along with your parents. They want reasons such as abuse. Good luck, but I honestly don’t think movin out right now is a good idea. It’s harder on you than you think.

Answer #3

Well you have to do what you think is best for search around ask a friend or another family member tell them about your stiuation I no people thahave been up your boat and I dont like when parents do that but have faith in god and everythinkg will work out in due time and what else you could do is ask to make a shed in the back and live out there with a miny fridge and the yard as your bathroom.
