I think i need to run away? HELP!?

Question

My parents are fighting over me being homeschooled, my mom is supporting me, my dad isnt. He is taking my mom to court over it all and going to sue her/try to get custody of me. He is making up lies and calling me crazy and its killing me. My mom is, as far as i know, getting married next month, but he is making everything so difficult that she is thinking about postponing it! She has waited for this day for so long, and I am ruining it. Its stressing me out. I have lost almost 20 pounds in a month and a half, and i can't sleep or eat. I was thinking about running away to California, which is where my grandpa is, but i have been brought up to know that its bad to run away like that. But i am still thinking about it. I have all the money, the transportation, everything. I need help. I don;t want to go, but i am ruining everyone's life here. It would be better without me. What should i do!?!? Please help me!

Answer 1

Run away make everyone worry about you ya that is a good idea.

Talk to your mom and dad calmly and figure something out but running away from the problum is not going to help beside were would you go  

Answer 2

No sense in running away because to be honest the cops will just bring you home since I am guessing you are underage. It'll just cause more problems in the end. You don't have anything to do with your parent's problems, let them work out whatever they have to. Even though the subject they are fighting about is you, you shouldn't be involved in it. Tell your parents how much this is stressing you out and that you don't think it's appropriate that you be exposed to them fighting. It's likely that they will be ashamed for putting you in the situation and will tone it down around you.  

Answer 3

Your don't mention your age. Most family court judges will hear a 12 year old, and most will allow a 14 year old to determine for herself which parent she will live with... or visit for that matter. Have your mom get you an appointment with the judge so the judge can restrain your dad.

Your mom divorced your dad because he is a lying nutjob control freak. Chances are, if you ever got to the real bottom of it, it would come down to him not wanting to pay child support... something selfish and petty. Don't let him emotionally abuse you.

By all means, do NOT let your mom postpone her wedding... if anything, do your best to pitch in and help her out. Chance are this effort will bring greater happiness for both you and your mom.

Answer 4

Kinda hard to follow your question.  Is it your mother that wants to home school you and you want to be home schooled?  By taking your mother to court will only cost him money.  There are a lot of kids being home schooled and it is not illegal.  

Don't run away from home for it will break your mother's heart.  Your father is probably jealous that your mother is getting remarried and wants to start something.  

This is not your problem or your fault your father is acting this way.  It is his own self wanting control.  You cannot miss your sleep worrying about something you have no control over.  Your father still wants to be in control of you and your mother therefore I think your mother should go ahead and get married.  Maybe then he will leave her alone.  Go to sleep!  

Answer 5

No, you should definitely NOT run away!!!  Talk to your mom about your feelings.  Tell your dad how this is affecting you.  If he really cares about you as much as he says he does then he will probably back off once he realizes how much you're hurting over all of this.  Good Luck!!!

Answer 6

well..first of all you are not the adult here...but you should have an input in your schooling.

this will all pass...don't let it get you down ...the custody or the wedding.(things you have no control over)

talk to a counselor if you are attending school now or get your mom and dad together and tell them what you would like to do

running solves nothing..only creates more problems.

face the problem now....open up and TALK.

Answer 7

if u runaway thatll just put more stress on both of ur parents.  theyd have to go and look for you and that is probably the scariest or a parent to not know where their kid is.  all u can do is make it easier for ur mom.
