Legal Question in Family Law in Minnesota

Hi my name is anna. I am 17 and im currently a senior in high school. I have a question for you. Ok well my mom and I dont see eye to eye. When she got drunk (which was a lot) or if she just was drinking she really wasn't the nicest person to be around. Not only would she swear at me but she would corner me and hit me. I hsd a friend over once who saw her hit me. That time my friend saw it I got a bloody nose. I got blood on the couch and my mom got even more mad. I was sexually abussed by my gpa when I was in middle school and since then things went downhill. My mom is always yelling or she jusy dosent talk to me. The only time she talks to me is when I did something wrong or if I didnt do something good enough. I basically take care of myself. My mom says its not her responsibility to always have to feed me. I remember one time that it was okay and that I was going to be 18 in less than 2 years and she told me that it wasnt soon enough. Even though she hasent hit me in about a year jm still really scared to be home. Im always in my room. She verbally abusses me. She tells me that im a bitch and a brat and so on. I statted cutting in 8th grade. My parents didnt find out till I was in 10th grade. My birth siblings (I was adopted) have basically the same problems as me and she likes to tell me that they are messed up and that they have serious problems. Which means im messed up cause she just found out that I have a learning disability and ADD.....I just met my birth family a couple months ago they are really great. They have seen how my mom treats me. They dont like it. My dad wont stand up for me because my adoptive sister said its because he knows if he stands up for me then my mom and dad would get into a big fight. He stood oup for me once which led to a fight and he ended up leaving for the night. My mom has serious problems when she is drinking. My good is never good enough for her. I love my dad but my mom ill be honest I cant stand her. Im scared to sometimes be at home. When she is home I get even more depressed cause she is always yelling at me for something. I just wanna some how get out of here and live somewhere untill in 18 which is in 10months. So I was wondering if there is anything I can do to move out? Or to get out of here? Cause I cant take it anymore.

Anna

Call 911 if you are in fear of immediate danger of any sort. Phone The Crisis Connection 24-7 - you may phone repeatedly - tell the trained staff what is happening. Ask to speak privately with trusted teachers, school counselors, the principal. Assuming you have some sort of health insurance, tell your primary care doctor, call the phone nurse, call the mental health provider phone number. If you are a part of a church, you may want to talk with one or more of the staff, too. There are many people who want to help you, but you need to tell these safe adults what is happening. This answer is not to be considered comprehensive, but, instead, a few immediate suggestions. Please get help for you right away.
