At What Age Can You Move Out of Your Parents' Home Without Permission

Your mother gave up custody so your step mom could take you to the do so your father wouldn't miss work. Well, that is one of the lamest excuses I've heard of for a parent to give up their rights. All your dad and.or mom had to do was write a letter giving your step mom permission to sign treatment and other necessary papers and act of their behalf. Have you seen your birth certificate with your step mom's name on it ?

I also agree with cdwjava about you not being totally blameless.

I told CPS that she weighing 300lbs sits on me. And asked them not to say anything unless they were going to get me out of the house. I don't know what they will do. Its not me being a whinny kid, she really is not good to Me. I have brothers and a sister I want to see too, that up to two years ago had a close relationship with and because of the step mom I don't. My dad and her fight all the time and he tells her he hates being home and only reason she is there is because he needs a built-in babysitter. I love my dad don't get me wrong but he doesn't ever want to be with his kids. He comes in as we go to bed at 8pm. And is gone before we wake up. I don't feel at almost 16 it is normal to have never had friends over or go to friends, have a birthday party, never play outside, or be in bed every night by 7pm until last year now its 8pm. I just don't feel any of this is normal behavior of a family

And every time they argue, I have to go see my therapist for medicine. I asked her why every time her and Daddy have a fight am I being the one out on medicine?? I think sometimes she is not all mentally there or something. She screams at me if she asks me if I miss my bio mom, and reply yes. She is like a light switch sometimes. I just can't wait until I turn 18. So I never have to look back again.

Therapists do not have the ability to prescribe medicine. You are seeing a doctor. Have you been diagnosed with a medical or mental health condition that requires medication? That may be one of the reasons for these conflicts.

No i havent been diagnosed with anything. my step mom is on alot of different medications, she has alot of diagnosis

Which is, frankly, irrelevant.

If I showed you just how many medications I have to take on a daily basis simply to live, your eyes would pop out.

NOTHING you've said changes anything at all about what you've been told.

Are you suggesting your dad should quit his job and all of you live in squalor on welfare?

How do you know what normal family behavior is if you've Never had friends over and you have Never gone to friends houses ? Not every family can afford to throw birthday parties for their teenages or their children. Do you want to play of the swings and slide down the slide if you go outside to play ? You go outside when you go to and from school and at school, don't you ? It is extremely important that teenagers get plenty of rest. It's a shame that other teenagers don't get the proper amount if rest like you do.
