What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Oklahoma
I have a question, I'm 17 years old and I've been living with my grandparents for 9 years. Over the 9 years I have dealt with daily emotional abuse such as being called an Idiot, telling me I'm no good and will never amount to anything, saying they wish they never adopted me, how they can't wait till i'm not there ect. And in the past my grandma would slap me on my face or my back but lately that as stopped. Last night we were arguing because I bought a Christmas tree and I had my friend help me carry the stuff in and they told her to leave. My grandma started yelling and went to slap me and I grabbed her arm to keep her from hitting me and my ring knicked her arm. My grandpa got mad and started smacking the back of my head, my face, and ears. He also said if I messed up again he was going to "slit my throat and wathc me bleed." I left to stay with a friend because I didn't want to stay in the house.
My question is, is there a way for me to move out and live with my friend and her mom and them not be able to force me to stay with them anymore? I've been through the DHS system and don't want them to get involved. I graduate from high school in May.
