Brenda, going to live with your sister will work if your parents give you permission to do so.

You don't write anything that even suggests that emancipation is an option.

You can't leave home without your parents' permission, they could report you as a runaway and anyone helping you could have legal repercussions for it.

Maybe family counseling would get you and your family back on track.

To be adopted would require terminating your parents' rights, and a Judge does not make a decision like that without a very good reason.

Your best option is to get permission.

Otherwise, continue with counseling and hope it will help make things tolerable until you are of legal age to move out.
