    Default 17 Year Old Looking for

    Okay to start off I am 17 years old and do currently have a job. I'm also still going through school and have a 4.0 gpa. However right now my dad is planning on sending me half way across the country from California to Illinois to live with my mom. I recently moved to ca from my moms because I was getting in trouble out the and failing class and dumb stuff but I come out here and do great and he wants to send me back because he has a psycho girlfriend that is bipolar and is my friend when she takes her pills and hates me when she doesn't. She also is always fighting with my dad and always being a crazy psycho b****. I think she's bad for him but that's not my place to talk. I honestly believe they are staying together because my dad doesn't want to ruin the kids life he had with her like he ruined mine and my sisters life by leaving our moms (all of us have dif moms). But I think it's wrong he should be able to send me away when I'm 17, have a job, straight as, good friends, and a great supportive girlfriend. He won't let me move out though no matter how much I beg. He'd rather send me back to the place I got arrested twice and had a straight d and f avg in school. And friends who just got me in trouble. Who still live in the area. Idk what to do besides give up and go on my flight June 11 to f*** my life again. Hoping you guys can help me have one more chance.

    Will, I don't honestly know what to tell you.

    Nothing is going to get in front of a judge before June. Not an emancipation petition, not a custody modification, nothing - it's just not going to happen before June hon.

    By the time it would, you'll likely be 18 anyway and able to live wherever you want to live. Surely you can hold out a few more months? You're mature? Old enough to live by yourself and support yourself completely (because that's what emancipation entails...)? Then surely you can go stick it out a few months until you're 18 without getting back with the wrong crowds?

    YOU have a choice whether you allow your life to get F'd up or not. Don't blame it on IL or your friends. Yolu made bad choices there. If you go back you CAN make good choices this time.

    You have less than a year before you are 1898 and then you can come out to CA, get a job and live on your own ... good luck with that. CA is the 3rd or 4th most expensive state to live in.
