    Default Can I Run Away to Live With My Grandparents

    My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Colorado.

    From the moment I was born I've lived with my grandparents. My mom was 17 when I was born so she lived with them as well. When she left for college she left me with my grandparents. Her and I talked occasionally while I was growing up, and we hung out, but my grandparents raised me. They are practically my mom and dad. My mom has always had custody of me, which wasn't an issue because she never expressed a want for me to live with her. Also, my dad had never been in the picture. I don't know him at all. For 16 YEARS I lived with my grandparents, and this June 2013 my mom decided she wanted me to live with her. But instead of asking me, she called the police and they told me I had to go with her. There was no bad blood between anyone in my family and suddenly this all happens. I feel so stressed, my job and school has been slowly going down hill and I feel depressed. She took me away from my real home. I'm a month away from being 17. She barely lets me talk to or see my grandparents anymore. I cry myself to sleep and I feel so sad.... Is there anything I can do to go back to them? After almost 17 years of living there, do I have any power to go back?

    Also, I'm thinking about running away. I want to run away back to them. They know they'll have to call the police to avoid being charged for harboring me, but I'm willing to do this as many times as I need to. I can't stay here and have the life I want. I can't work or go to school the way I want to anymore either. What should I do...?

    Your best bet is to get mom's permission to move back to your grandparent's home.

    Something is going on in your mother's head, to inspire her to do this. Any idea of what?

    I suggest you confide in your insecurity with a counselor at school. Ask mom to send you to a therapist.
