    If you are being abused, pick up the phone and call CPS.

    That assumes, of course, that you are under the age of 18. If you are over the age of 18, feel free to move out.

    Ah no. They're not going to remove you and place you with your boyfriend's family.

    Not. Happening.

    That would make your boyfriend your nephew. That's really healthy.

    NOT HAPPENING.

    Brianna, seriously - please listen. You are NOT going to be living with your boyfriend and/or his family unless BOTH of your parents agree to let you go and live there.

    You don't have a chance at being emancipated.

    Period. Ever.

    Brianna - you're staying with your legal guardian unless the State steps in and removes you for your own safety.
