I have been living with my sister for two years now and recently her and her husband have made a contract that they forced me to sign. Things here wernt going that bad until that contract came up. The "contract" said that i had to do what they basically told me to do like chores and not to be rude to the little kids which i hardly ever am, and other stuff that deals with my boyfriend. When i reached the bottom of the contract it said that if i didn't follow it they were going to send me away or make me live with on of there friends which they allready have three kids. I will be turing 18 in like 1 1/2 months and im a senior in high school but i can't take it anymore and i'm to the poit to where i'm going to leave no matter what. I have friends that i have talked to even there parents and they are willing to take me in, i have a job and i work with on of my friends and she used to have problems but not as bad as mine so her parents understand. I have a place to go i just need to know how to get out and quick because on top of this all im bipolar manic depressive and i cant take this crap anymore. My little brother also got one too and he is 16 and my sister and her husband tell us that we are the problem in there marriage and stuff like that. We didn't really have a choice to come here becaues my mom was going to send us to a group home in missouri which is where we lived before but my sister said she would take us. Im to the point if i can't find somthing to do to get me out im going to runaway and i really dont care because i want out of there like pronto but i dont know what to do i need some advise please. :mad: :confused:

Well I suggest that you find another relative or family friend, or even family of a school friend to be your legal guardian asap and go visit them and don't come back. If you are 18 in a month and a half, then they should not object to your moving out for a month and a half, then you are out of their hair period. I also suggest you speak with a school counselor.
