The question is about Virginia, not Ohio.
A parent can give a teen permission to live independently, in any state. In some states, once that happens it can lay a foundation for emancipation; in Ohio, the parent can revoke the permission at any time until the minor reaches the age of 18.
Additionally, just because you are living independently does NOT mean you are emancipated. In Ohio, the state will only emancipate a minor if they are legally married or are a member of the active armed forces - for both of which you need parental permission. And, if the marriage or the term of service in the armed forces comes to an end before the minor is 18, the emancipation is automatically revoked and custody reverts to the parents.
So, Danny, while you may be legally living on your own, you are not emancipated under the law. And if your parents were to tell you to move back in, guess what? The law would require you to move back in.
You might want to know what the laws of your own state are before you try giving advice to equally misguided teens in other states.

It appears your father has given your brother temporary guardianship over you. Since you cannot even follow basic instructions and do not even seem to understand your current living situation, I would venture that even if you had hundreds of thousands of dollars, a judge would not find you competent to be on your own shelby.
