Hello i am a 16 year old living in florida with a family problem. I have lived with my mother all my life, i visit my father over the summers. My mom got married 6 years ago and i do not get along with my step father. My mom doesnt have a job so she lives off of him. We havent been getting along for a while but it has gotten really bad in the last few months and my mom wants to send me to my fathers but i dont know him and hes just getting out of rehab for meth and i just dont feel comfortable moving to las vegas to live with him. My mother and my step father i know do drugs (marijuana,crack,alchol) but i dont want to make it to the extent where i would have to say that just to get out. I have a stable job i work at subway and i have a side job of carpentry and i really want to get out of this house because the treat me very unfair and its just not the kind of household a teenager should have to deal with. I know that if i had a roomate that i would be able to survive just fine on my own but i dont know how to go about getting emancipated or what i would have to do. I have a loving boyfriend that is 20 years old and would love to take care of me but my parents dont like him. They are willing to sign me over to any adult except for him. I just really need advice of what to do in my situation. Because i cant take this much longer and im almost forced to runaway but i dont want it to escalate to that so please help me and tell me what i should do. thanks so much
