I am seventeen years old and I live in Ohio. I will be eighteen in about 4 weeks. My step-dad left my mom and I almost three years ago. Since then my mom has stopped working and my grandparents started paying all the bills. My mom is severely depressed and talks about suicide all of the time. Last year was my junior year in high school and I was at one point working three jobs while going to school, so that I could help out with the bills. I am now a senior and my grandparents can not afford to pay anymore and my mom and I got evicted from our apartment. She says that at the end of this month she is taking me to California. She says she will have about $800 and that will be enough to get us there, but she has no plans for when we get there. I know that I legally have to abide by her rules until I turn 18, but this is my senior year of high school I really don't want to leave when I am so close to graduating. By the time she is ready to go I will be two weeks away from turning 18 can she make me go with her, or is there any way I would be able to stay?
