[nobody17]

What is the name of your state? fl
well my dad called us after about 6 yrs. of no contact and i was debating on going to live with him and his wife and step kids. i'm 17 i was wanting to get emancipated but nobody will hire me out here. (i droped out of school) i dont like my mother and i've never really had a good relationship with her and dont want to live under her roof. the only problem with moving in with my dad is that he lives in MA and i live in fl and so does my fiance. i dont want to leave my fiance but i really cant stand being under my mothers roof. i get treated like i the worse child that anybody could be. nobody but me does anything in my house (i have a sister) and i am constantly getting mentally abused. my grandma and my fiance see that but they cannot do anything about it!? i dont know what to do or how i should go about any of it. i'm looking for help not smart comments so if ya aint got any helpfull advice for and your going to be a prick dont post a reply to this. thanks

So you're a HS dropout who doesn't work. What do you do with yourself?

volunter my time at dove hill horse ranch an equine rescue. that is teaching me anything and everything i need to know about horses and giving me the time i need to get into equine managment. we take in all kinds of horses and fix them and get them adopted out and we work with the handicap. but it's a non profit so she hasnt the money to pay me.

okay, I really wasn't going to reply to this because I do not have any legal knowledge, I originally found this to help me out with some of my legal issues.

I hope you don't mind my "advice". When I was 17 I felt exactly the same as you in every aspect. I think most mothers and daughters go through this at that age. I don't know your whole situation, so I hope I am not out of line.

I know I would be very careful if my Dad tried to come back in to my life at 17, heck, you are grown, the hardest part is over; your Mom was there through all of those. I would stay put, get your GED and maybe take some college courses to go along with the volunteer work you are doing and pretty soon you can take care of you and you will be SO much happier not having to rely on anyone BUT you. I wish you teh best of luck!

Well, that's all very nice, but it ain't gonna pay the bills when you're an adult. So why can't you get hired? (edit) And I don't mean at the barn - at a job that pays money.
