I am currently 17 years of age and will be turning 18 in the fall. I was wondering if I could leave my household due to emotional abuse and other negative behavior. I can not stand to take anymore of this because I am worn thin. I have a safe place to stay with a trusted family member where I can attend a good school. My mother would never let me out of her control, but can I legally leave without her being able to force me to go back? I was told that there was a way, but I want my facts straight before getting into this. Is there any advice that someone could give me?
Thank you,
Amanda
