Question

i can't take my mom anymore. im fourteen years old and all she does is yell at me and act immature. she talks about my father and step-mother all the time. she always fights with me and everyone around her. everything that makes her mad and upset she takes out on me.. i really cant take living with her anymore. i sleep downstairs now because when im in my room (next to hers) she comes in all the time and yells at me. i cant get my homework done there or anything else. i go to my dads at least 3 times a week, usually call him crying to have him pick me up and i cant take it anymore. please help me! i NEED to get outta there.

Update:

I'm thinking if you can get a mutual agreement between your mom dad and yourself on your living arrangements then you could go now. If not it is prolly family law and I think child custody is quite confusing.

I would say that the age would probably 16. Seeing as it bothers you right now ask your mom and see what she thinks of the idea of you going to live with your father.

You can move to your dads at any age, but because you are under 18 and since your mom does not want you to move to your dads, then you would have to go to court and the judge would have to hear your moms side, your side, and your dads side and the judge will decide if your mom is fit to watch you or if you should move in with your dad.  If your mom is fine with you moving, then you can move anytime.  I know your dad and Helen love you and they would love to have you move in with them.  It's just the issue with your mom- either get her to agree to let you move in with your dad or talk to your dad about how he feels about the court thing.
If your mom won't let you go to your dads a lot, then ask her if some days when you're not at your dads if you can come here.  My mom and I are going to her friends house for 4 days over Spring Break- she lives by NYC.  If your Mom would let you, you can come- unless you're going to your dads or going somewhere.  but there are 2 girls there who are our age and like 2 years younger- really nice- and I'd be there so I mean, if you wanna go you can. lol
But I hope this helped in some way :)

Sorry :(
