darlin', you remind him of the son he should have had but he's got problem children instead. Not your fault but he's too immature not to take it out on you. \n\nHe probably didn't want you to move in but said so to keep the peace with your mom. You're coming between them whether you want to or not. Sounds like it's a party of 3.\n\nIf i were as miserable as you sound, i'd get a loan and get my own place. Find a roomie, boarding house. DO WHATEVER IT TAKES. Your mental health is at stake, here. Get out; you'll realize it's worth the cost.

My word.  That is a lot of people and stress.   Is it possible for you to move into a place away or maybe down the road form your relatives, just to get you out of the chaos?  There are usually places that offer low/reduced rent for fixed incomes.   Maybe your children can do things to help around the house so when you come home you have some peace and don't feel like you have to race around and clean, cook, do laundry etc.  Good luck.

You definitely have to sit down with your Dad, and explain to him.Did we have this much trouble before Grandma came to live with us. I need to talk to you. Don't forget this must be hard for your dad also, its his mother and no one wants to go against there Mom, especially when they are getting old, Your father may be stressed out also.  So you have to get this out in the opening with no yelling and screaming. Good Luck  (isn't there any other kids that can take her)

Time is the only thing which will provide answers for you. Perhaps your mother does not deserve your trust, repect and honour, and if that is true, I am sorry. Your mom is supposed to be the one to provide guidance to you, but for some reason you aren't listening to her. If your bf does not have legal status in the USA, you don't want to endanger him, so moving in with him would make him vulnerable. I suggest you stay with your mom for the present time, and take the time to figure out how to make things work. Maybe you can help you bf get legal status without marrying him. It is very difficult to obtain status through marriage now. Good luck in your future......just give it a little more time.

If you're 18, there's nothing he can do to stop you.\n\nJust make sure you know where you're going to stay & how you're going to pay the bills, because once you're on your own - your on your own....  Good possibility you won't be welcomed back home.

For your own metal health and well being you need to find a way to move. Rent a room with some other college students, check out the dorms, apply for grants and loans. Get a part time job.\n\nYour dad sounds like a very angry and unreasonable person. From the little you have said his treatment of your family is psychologically/emotionally abusive. The man sounds much like my own father. Moving out was the best thing I ever did for myself. Reading the book "The Dance of Anger" by Harriet Lerner helped me resolve many of my feelings about him.\n\nAbout talking to your GF, there are plenty of public computers. Your college should have some and your local library. Yahoo Messenger has a web based version that does not require you to download so you can use it on public computers.\n\nGood Luck and take care of yourself.

The day you turn 18, you can move out. Before that age, you would be considered a runaway. After that age, you are an adult and can make decisions for your own life. Your parents can no longer tell you what to do, but they also don't have to help you out with anything.\n\nWhen you hit 18, your parents responsibility for you ends. You can pack your bags and hit the road, never looking back, if that's what you want. On the reverse side, when you turn 18, your parents can pack your bags, put you out the door, change the locks, and never look back.\n\nWhat I would suggest is trying to talk to your parents and explain the need to establish yourself as an independent person. Be reasonable, be calm, and be respectful. In the end, it is your decision, but you don't want to do irreparable damage to your relationship with your parents.

Have the disability continue to go to your house, but write a check to the dad.  That way you won't have to hassle with the paperwork when your son moves back.  If the dad really is caring for your son, then technically, he should get the money.

once you are 18 no-one will be able to tell you what to do, so maybe you should just live with your parents until then, after all it will beat paying the bills by yourself, also your mom may be trying to save you from making the same mistakes that she did, thats why she doesn't want you doing the same stuff that she did when she was young.

I believe in the state of texas it is legal for a 17 year old to move out. Call the court house to find out though. also look into Legal Emancipation.\nPS-living outside of your parents place is not cheap, health insurance is expensive, dental ins, car ins, gas prices, cell phone bill, electricity (i live north of dallas in Denton (college town)) 1 bedroom apartment kept at 85 degrees during the summer ran about 90 bucks a month, at least. I am sure you dont want to live in one of the shit-hole All bills paid places where you can here your neighbors argue, also dont forget rent prices and food. FOOD can cost alot!\nALSO, to move into your own place (roomates cause legal problems) you will need a cosigner, meaning your parents may need to sign your apartments lease. seeing how Houston tends to get some smacking from hurricanes and such you may want renters insurance.\n\nOh yeah, "Dont forget to bring a towel"

YOU ARE IN A REAL BIND. I'M WONDERING WHAT THE CUSTODY AGREEMENT IS. I THINK THAT SHE NEEDS TO COME HOME WITH YOU IF SHE WANTS TO LIVE WITH HER DAD THEN I WOULD TELL HER SHE NEEDS TO COME HOME UNTIL THE APPROPRIATE ARRANGEMENTS CAN BE MADE. ON A MORE MOTHERLY NOTE I NO THAT THIS MUST BE VERY HURTFUL BUT SHE WILL REALIZE THAT LIVING AT HOME WITH MOM IS THE BEST ESPECIALLY SINCE YOU MENTIONED A GIRLFRIEND IT WONT TAKE LONG BEFORE THEY GO AT IT AND RESENTMENT WILL SET IN. I KNOW THIS MAY NOT BE OF ANY COMFORT TO YOU BUT I WILL REMEMBER YOU IN MY PRAYERS. GOOD LUCK

It is the mother's parental right to make any new boyfriend's life hell.  Now, what age were you when you signed it?  If you were under age, then technically no, it can't be legal.  I don't know the age at which she/you are considered adults in your own community.  When she turns 18, will she be living at home or move out?  If she lives at home, mom's/dad's house rules apply.  OR, maybe certain terms can be negotiated with her parents.  Good Luck!

you can become emancipated from your parents, which something like divorce.  why don't you see a lawyer.  you'll probably need a ride from mom or pop.

Well the eviction notice was intended for his mother(person on the lease). Since her 16 year old son is living there, though she is evicted. doesn't mean that being kicked out of their place doesn't apply to him.  It doesn't matter how old you are you can get kicked out of anywhere. If you're a friend help him to find somewhere to live wether it be with other family or a helpful friend. Since he's under age I wouldn't be surprised if the police step in and send cps to pick him up and put him in foster care.

If everything is in order between you and your mother, I see no reason why you couldn't venture off on your own!  Check the local laws and statues in your town.  Usually 18 is the adult age, but there are exceptions to the laws in some areas.  If you go live with a relative and you are "underage", then a guardianship contract would have to be amended by both partys, your parents and your live-in relatives or adult-head of house.  But I really don't think they will make a big thing out of just being one year away from adulthood for you, or anyone else, anywhere!  I say, just pack your bags, and with your mom's blessing, go off and find your destiny my child!  Have fun and stay out of trouble, ok?  LOL

The only thing you have to consider is where you are living.  Yes, you're 18 and an adult but if you are still living under your mother's roof then you need to follow her rules.  Still, there's no reason that you can't talk to her like an adult and explain that you would like some more freedom.  The biggest part of this is how much she trusts you.  If you've given her reasons to think that you can make good decisions then you're likely to get what you're looking for.  If you've shown her you can't, she's likely as not to tell you to follow her rules.
