I live in Washington state, and I am currently under the age of seventeen.
I wish to leave my family, because I don't feel as if staying with them any longer would be any good for my mental health.
I am not sure if they are abusive, per se, but they are entirely apathetic to my problems and offer no support whatsoever, and even admit to me that they think I am lying (i have had ten years worth of csa under my belt..), they mock me and tease me, and every interaction with any family member usually ends up in some sort of argument. Anything I own may be taken away at random times, with no given reason (as an example, in second grade, every last one of my books were taken away for a full year. now, it's my phone that they take away at random times. my father often tries to force me to allow him to read my chat logs with friends.). I am also dangerously suicidal, and have been diagnosed with several disorders, including a possible brain tumor, that once again, I receive no support for, from my family.
I also live in a violently transphobic/homophobic family. I have been outed to them by my school, and my father hints at sending me to conversion therapy.
By this years summer, I hope to at least progress a little farther in school, so that I may start college early, have a job, and a car.
Would my case have a chance of being taken seriously in court, and hopefully approved? Is there a possible way for me to leave this house, legally?
