The Mix has an article on advice on the topic for reference: https://www.themix.org.uk/sex-and-relationships/family-life/help-moving-out-3292.html
Im kinda in the same situation but im only 13 so very long till i can move out my mum is also quite controlling tho she would call it caring and im basically the outcast in ny family but u dont have privacy i have too much privacy ! Like im always lonely and isolated. Idk why im telling u this but yh
The first part is sad but the last sentence just made me burst out laughing.Lol sorry u have to go through that
Do you have a good relationship with your social worker? Are you still in touch with them?
If you do want (or need) to move out, it might be worth contacting Shelter. They're a charity that supports people with homelessness and should be able to give you the info you need. The Mix also has an article on moving out which might be worth reading.
Additionally, is there a friend or family member you could live with for a short time? I know by the sounds of it your parents would be opposed to that, but if there is a safe adult or a friend you trust to stay with, it might be worth exploring that as an interim arrangement.
My sister moved to our neighbours' house at 16 because she didn't get on with my mum at all, and that was (as far as I know!) legally fine.
You also mentioned wanting to kill yourself (which is understandable under the circumstances
to answer your questions no i dont like my social worker but i do act like i get along with her and there is no family that i can trust and friends they know the situation they know how dangerous my parents can be soo they dont want to get involved well not them but their parents thank you
Im planning on doing that too, but I dont know if I can get a house at 16 (in england btw)
My mum wants to move countries but i want to continue retaking my gcses and i have my exams in 3 months but my mum doesn't care and i feel worried about what will happen in the near future, I wish i had control over my life, especially since I'm 16, Ive been told im old enough to give up and so much other things its only fair that id also be old enough to get a mortgage and a part time job that actually pays enough(looking for one rn)
