I'm 17 and im being mentally abused and being threated to be kicked out, which is a good thing for me but the only bad thing is i'm not exactly able to pay for my own way.
Is the law on my side or can be kicked out before i turn 18? Im in new mexico by the way.
Let me just give you a little background of my life, i was raised on a reservation and my dad is white and my mom is native american and i was raised in a house where my dad and mom would always drink and fight, and my dad use to beat my mom. Hes an old vietnam vet and he has problems with anger.
Recently we moved to Albuquerque and they have both stopped drinking and he no longer abuses my mom (i would have to fight him if he touched her). Hes fat, overweight and is a complete ignorant scum. He sits on his ass all day, he doesn't work and he tells me to work on something everyday which is fine but he verbally abuses the family, he will blame every problem on someone else. Hes the lazyest person you will ever meet. I work on the yard at least once a day doing ridiciolous tasks that most of the time is caused by his doing. And he will sit on the couch all day eating and tell me to do things or he will kick me out.
Hes very smart person but hes someone nobody could live with, hes dirty he blames everyone for his problems and he takes tons of different medications. Basically hes a mental nut on the verge of a breakdown. he always threatens to sell the house and leave us all or if something isnt done right he throws verbal phrases out and puts everyone down. (is there a law against verbal abuse to children under 18?) well today he really pissed me off...
He wanted to put a fan light in my room which i din't want but i din't say anything because i know how he is and he would basically say that he doesn't care what i think. So he goes in my room and starts throwing things around asking me where the fan light box is and i tell him i don't know and that my mom probably put it away somewhere, then he starts yelling calling me lazy *******, no good for nothing etc. and tells me to get up and look for it. i quietly told him that i din't want anything to do with it and i don't even need a fan light in my room then he gets pissed off and starts yelling at me telling me im disrespecting him and to pack my things and get out or start looking for it.
thats basically a daily occurence for me. I dont mind at all that i have to do yard work w/e every day or so but the things i do doesn't seem normal for kids my age, i have to dig holes or dig around a tree and cut it down. And hes on oxygen from smoking most of his life and is on veteran disability and when ever i ask him to do something like help me at least he tells me he doesn't have to do anything and i have to do all the work. Today i was thinking about going in his room and grabbing his gun and shooting him...
thankfully i thought about life out of this house and thats where im here asking you people. Is there anything i can do to get away or be put in a home where i can just get away? I don't want to go live with other family because there out on the reservation and its horrible out there. If i go live there ill end up being a nobody who drinks all day. so can he really kick me out or is he liable for me till i turn 18? In 2 months im planning on moving out with a bunch of friends which is like a life saver for me. but right now if i get kicked out theres no way i can afford to do those things. Right now im working on the internet in the web design buisness and such and trying to make a living off doing it. but if i get kicked out all my hopes and dreams of starting a web business will end because nobody else really has the internet or computer i can use. i would be stuck working manual labor for the rest of my life and i don't want that path. is there anything i can do?
