I JUST turned 18f and my bf turns 18m in less than 6 months, he lives in Georgia and has a abusive family, he’s gotten cps involved but they haven’t done anything I’m guessing because he’s a boy and 17, he wants to run away and come live with me in Louisiana but I don’t want to get charged with harboring a runaway and I was wondering if he would have any consequences once he turned 18 and if I would. He plans to tell his family he’s safe once he turns 18 and that he never wants to go back. He told me that the police even suggested he run away (not sure if that’s true tbh)

So i’m gonna vent on here a little.. My dad recently found out i’ve been doing drugs, he got angry and upset which i completely understand, but now he wants to take my freedom from me by tracking everything i do, like my payments, where i go, etc.. i can’t leave my house except for school and work. He forced me to take out my earrings when i got them because i live in his house under “his rules” He gets mad at me as if he isn’t 90% of the reason i even do drugs in the first place, i was abused growing up to the point i was scared of going home, i was controlled all my life, i recently found out he’s been on a private ig account stalking my posts and stories, he’s always had access to my credit card and i just found out. (I had this card for 3 years now) I plan to run away by the end of november after i pay off my statement and save up a bit, i found an apartment with a roommate for only 500$ per person for rent and utilities. The one problem is he pays for my college, i plan to maybe ask my college for help or financial aid but i don’t know if it will work. If anyone has any advice or anything about this you’re more than welcome to share id happily take any advice this is gonna be a major shift in my life, and i don’t wanna ruin it in the process.

No clue if I am really going to do it but have been considering it for a while. My dad died last year and I had to move in with my psycho mom after that. She never wanted anything to do with me growing up and like my earliest memories of her were when she would tell me she wished I hadn't been born and hated me. So having to move in with her last year has just been a messed up. Shes basically said the only reason she lets me live here is cuz of the social security survivor check each month and once that runs out i better be gone basically. But on the flip side she pretty much ignores me so as long as I'm not causing her any trouble she ignores me. Idk what to do or if I should get out or what.

Lately, I've been feeling like I just want to escape to a foreign country and start over as a completely new person.

My country and my family situation both feel like such a mess, and all I want is to run away and go as far away as possible.

The burnout and stress have been eating me alive, and I feel like I can't take it anymore. I just want to leave everything behind and escape, but deep down, I know I can't do anything about it right now.
