in A Cheerleader's Advice by (126k points)
Most of you (presumably) already understand my situation. It’s pretty complicated. And terrible. I said I couldn’t take it anymore two years ago. It’s beyond me how I’m still doing it. But really, I can’t.

The Montana minimum to file for limited emancipation is 16 years. Aye, Commando used to tell me to just deal with it for two more years then I’ll be good. Yeah, mate. You try doing that, see how well it turns out for you. Anyway, typically you need a job to prove that you can support yourself. My problem: I don’t have a job because my dad is a crazy Nazi narcissist. It’s possible that I can file and then go to my grandparent’s house until I can get a real job. My grandmother is also crazy (but in a different way), but hey: the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

I know I’ve toyed with this idea here before, but I’m serious. I might just be able to do this. I just need one more year of High School then I can go to U of M. I’ll be graduating in April if everything goes according to plan, meaning that I’ll have plenty of time to work a lot to save up as much as possible.

I need real, serious advice here. I know that asking about something as serious as this on this site is a bad idea, but I’m doing it anyway. I’m posting it on CC’s column because she’s (no offense mates) one of the most mature and experienced users here I’m familiar with. My big question is: should I? It feels like I don’t really have a choice, so is there something I’m missing? Cons to it? Other solutions or ideas? I’m serious mates: I’m not having a dilemma about what movie I should watch or what fast food restaurant to go to. This is my life here.

Thanks guys

Then honestly you aren’t seeing very far because I myself can already think of several.

If you want to go to your grandparent's just ask your dad if you can go. You already said you're somewhat cool with your granny.

But if asking your dad doesn't work then try and sneak away or something. You seem to be somewhat good at that from what you've posted.

Sorry if I didn't help.

Running across the country isn’t that easy. It’d be way easier to run to Canada.
