God you sound like me.....*except the hitting the mom part* and I hate my mom too........but sweetie, the point is you don't have to take it.....take a stand with me.....i'm slowly but surely revealing the truth about my family to my cousins, aunts, and grandparents.......can you do the same?

My aunt and cousin know. My grandma (his mom in fact) knows that hes a jackass and knows hes verbally abusive.

So Ive let people know but they really havent been helpful besides that my aunt says that any time I need a place to stay to just call her.

That's probably a bad idea. If they find you your aunt will be charged with kidnapping, even though you're willingly there you're under age.

running away is never the answer to a problem, its basically trying to solve a problem with another problem, which in most peoples books is just wrong (i.e. - someone stole ur candy, so u steal someone else)



u have to find people to talk about it, and rather that running away seek intervention, from a counselor, family member, or if worse case senario the police.



a runaway is not an offense, however it could lead to social service charges against your parents, and as well it leaves u with a track record that stays with you the rest of your life. yep, so if u want a job and they look at ur police file records, there gonna see missing, runaway or something along those lines, which thus leads an employer to worry about emotional issues attatched.

could you speak with the social services in your area?
