I'm 16 years old and I'm barely two weeks away from being 17.I live in louisiana. I have to get out of my house and as far away from my mother as I can possible get. My sanity as well as reputation is a stake. My cousin moved out of her house as soon as she was 17 and the authority said that her dad could not come after her because of some loophole. He never tried to come after her and I just need to make sure I'm safe to leave when I'm 17.
