I work with a young woman who graduated high school at 17 and joined the Army. She is very bright, tested high and got into a good career field that allowed her to get out after 4 years and is now a contractor for the USAF. Her situation is maybe slightly different. She loves her mother but her mother drove her crazy and she wanted out of the house. No bad back story or fight, she just didn't like living with her mother and wanted to be independent.
Just a thought. If you were to consider military service make sure you get good advice before signing a contract.
I'm not saying give up on your relationship with your mother. Time, and possibly a little distance, will probably solve that.
Believe she said Dad is disabled, 4 more kids in the house, and older sister got kicked out for misbehavior and lives on her own?
I kinda feel for Mom without knowing the whole situation. And I feel for the girl and wonder that all this for weed and police action might be a little much.
But it sounds like Mom has the care of all of this on her shoulders and maybe She needs some support herself. That might explain this excessive response.
Anyway, emancipation isn't the answer for all of them because it's difficult to support oneself, which I assume most do. How did you do it? Did you branch on your own? Move in with someone?
My bio dad had to pay child support until I was 18, so I got that check.. around $275, already had a job, so went full time, and room mates.

I just saw this thread - and there's not a thing I can add - other than to throw my support behind you, OP. People make mistakes, not just teens.
Hang in there, it sounds as though you've learned your lesson and are back on the right track. And please do keep all of us informed. Good luck. I think you'll make it.
well today my mom actually came up to me (first time in 2 weeks). she told me that im no longer welcome here.. so, i guess im moving out today since she doesn't care where i go as long as i go.
that was a little easier than i thought it would be :/ but, at least we all don't have to deal with each other anymore. Thanks for the advice you guys.
Faithhiee, I just found this thread and I have to tell you that sometimes people under duress (a disabled husband and 4/5 kids is definetely duress) will say and do things that they will regret later. I sinderely hope that your situation (with your mom) will not embiter either you or her and that it will get better. I know my sister and my mother had a lot of fights eventually she ran away from home and married her BF. (different cultures and years caused for different expectations) Any way my sister and mother eventually started talking again and within five years they had a very loving relationship. I kow five years seems a long time to but i assure you - as an old man - five years is nothing.
my mom told my entire extended family, not just my immediate family, what i did so they aren't speaking to me either... and no i didn't murder anyone. lol. i just got caught up with the wrong crowd for a few weeks and around here, you are who your with. i really don't know what my mom is expecting me to do to live or feed myself but i figure she thinks i can make it on my own, and i will do my best to prove that to her. and i will do what it takes to stay off of the streets, even if it involves going to a shelter.
Hang in there Faithhiee...I was barely 17 when I left home....keep that positive attitude..hope everything works out
