contact your father and move in with him. Have him petition the court for custody and have you testify to your condition at home. Once he has full custody of you, if you still want to live with your neighbor then they can work out an agreement that meets with approval of the court such as - staying in your school district so you can graduate with your class - he can pay them something for your room and board. Good luck.
