how to get out of the house!?


Question Posted Wednesday August 31 2011, 12:44 pm

Hello. I am 17 years old. I am starting college soon (commuting). However, as of now, I live with an extremley mentally and verbally abusive father who is very neglectful. I need to get out of the house, ASAP. Right now, I don't have a car or license, or job, so I don't know how I would be able to make it on my own. I already have to pay for college and I don't know how I could add on more expenses. What are my options? Foster care? A shelter? I do'nt have any other family nearby. I do'nt know what to do or how much more of this I can take. Thank you for your time.

You have many option, you just have to figure out which one you want to use. You could call your local public health clinic and tell them what your dad is doing and they will help you by referring you to a family counselor and family domestic violence service. They can help you out with getting you out of the house and make it so your dad still gives you financial help, until you turn 18 or other wise decided by court of law. That's the smart official way to do it.

Or!

You could move in with a friend of yours, look for a job so you can help pay rent and work at getting your license.

Good luck.
