Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

Hello. I am a minor in the state of Georgia, and I would like to know if my father, who currently doesn't have custody over me, can grant me permission to live with a family friend. My mother, who is emotionally and verbally abusive, will not give me permission to do so. I do not wish to be placed in a foster home or a group home.
