Okay so i’m currently 16 doing my gcse’s in England. My dad treats me horribly because i look like my mother, i’m not going to fully get into the situation unless you NEED to know because i’m paranoid about things happening that are out of my control.
I got “taken away” from my abusive mum at 8 years old but it turns out social services recommended for me to stay with dad until she calmed down. He fought in court, got custody over me but no abuse was actually recorded so i’m guessing it was a simple custody battle. I read the court documents and he lied about me not legally being allowed to see my mum.

Basically, i’m going to move in with my grandmother because although i don’t want too its important for my mental wellbeing and i have a few questions:

1. Will my history of mental health hospitalisation impact wether or not i am viewed as capable of making this decision

2. Can i leave without a big court thing going on? I don’t wanna experience that again

3. If my dad physically tries to make me come home can i phone the police without it impacting my siblings?

4. Is there anything i should know before doing this?

Thank you so much for reading through this, i need to be prepared for this July but if i’m being totally honest i am terrified haha

I remember sitting with my Nana and we were watching the movie ‘Dick Tracy’.
The scene where Madonna is sat on his desk literally made 6 year old me fold and i remember making my Nana watch that movie with me on repeat due to it 😂

What really affirmed it was that childhood jealousy of when one of your best friends had a crush on someone and it pissed you off without realising why.
