Want to Move Out

I am 17, with 157 days left until I turn 18. I dearly need to move out, I really can not take the mental abuse I get from my father much longer. He said if I wanted to leave I could but he would still list me as a run away preventing me from keeping my job and going to school. My sister ran away when she was 15, and I have hung in as long as I could, the mental abuse I recieve not only from my father but from my step mother as well. My grandmother has repeatively tried to help me, but only making it worse. Im not sure what to do and Im scared to attempt to leave because Im scared of what my father may do to me. What do I do, Im very scared and I dont know how to do this. I dont want to make my father angry, Im to scared of him. Please help me.

Where are you working full time and how long have you worked there?

The "do you have a full time" question, frequently raised, is peripheral. No emancipation statute that I have ever seen makes having a full-time job a prerequisite to a grant of emancipation. It is possible, even for a minor, to be capable of self-support where emancipation law so requires, without holding a full-time job.

In Florida, there is no requirement of a full-time job. However, there is a requirement that the child's parents initiate the emancipation proceedings. It may be possible to get help through a guidance counselor at school.
