I hate living with my mum. What should I do?
My mum treats me like a child and I'm nearly 18, she has a boyfriend he hits her and treats her horribly and I know my mum could do better than him. My mum also moved during my education and really messed it up. I was doing really well and the she moved and there were different exam boards, units ,etc and I hated going to school, she eventually moved back and when I got my results they weren't very good and she blamed me. I would move out but I can't legally rent or buy until 18. I can't live with my mum another day, her boyfriend abuses me sometimes and hits me. I thought about suicide because I'm depressed and I don't know what job I would get, I hate my mum for being with a jerk and I feel like my life got messed up because of my mum. I live in England by the way, any idea what I should do?

First, no matter what, hang in there. You will reach 18. Suicide is not an option! If you have a place where you an move in with a friend's family, if the mere suggestion of it will not get you in trouble, do it. If you can get CPS (child protective services) to talk to you alone, do it. Explain your "fears and concerns". Do not downplay it, and insist to them that you cannot feel safe at home because of the violence and that it is severely messing with your head! Maybe they can get you out safely. If you are stuck, just bide your time. Many of the strongest and greatest of humans have had to endure similar things and one day soon, it will all be behind you. I am very sorry to hear what your mom has put you through and allowed to happen. Just remember, don't let her manipulate you at any time once you get out of there. She does not sound like a stable force in your life and I am so sorry you were cheated out of having that in your life. Just resolve to someday be a better parent than they will ever be and do not let their sickness drag you down. You are way, way better than that! If you can get with police to discuss the abuse situation, perhaps they can offer you protection. Be sure to advise the police that you are afraid to reach out for help during bad incidents because you fear further abuse later on. Find a good officer to talk to and tell him you feel you need protected. When you get out of there, don't be manipulated and don't look back! Turn to and trust in God, your Father. He loves you and will help you through this too. I really wish the best for you. I will pray for you. Bless!

Get a job and save money up to move out! Nobody deserves to feel like this. I think you should also talk to you mom about it, maybe it'll change. Good luck!

Go live with your father. I see that you are going through a rough time there with your mom and her boyfriend whom is abusive. You should even turn that guy in to the cops and have him jailed.
