if this belongs in a different sub please let me know, I’m just looking for advice wherever I possibly can.

I’m a 16 year old girl. I don’t have a job because of my health issues and I can’t drive yet. I have two older siblings, but they have moved out of the house for the same reason I want to. My father is an alcoholic who is extremely verbally and mentally abusive and threatens physical violence against himself and us, though he has never hit us. I have some video proof of his daily abuse, though nothing too incriminating.

I’ve considered calling the police many times, but I’m scared I’ll be taken away by CPS or put into foster care, or even that my mother will get in trouble for neglect. I don’t want to leave my mom with him, but I am very depressed and suicidal due to this and it seems like she’s not trying to leave him at all out of fear that he will stalk/harass us or kill himself or try to hurt our pets.

My boyfriend (16) has offered many times for me to come live with him, and I’m honestly considering it. I’ve thought about dropping out of high school and running away. None of our distant family knows what’s going on, and they don’t have the money to take me in. My siblings both only have one bedroom apartments and college to pay for. I feel so trapped and I don’t know what to do. Any advice is appreciated.

**for extra context: I’m not attending school in person at this time because of the virus being very bad in my area. Also, I would like to avoid options that risk me getting taken from my mother. She takes care of me because my father is very neglectful and tries to divert his abuse from me to her. Also, the foster care and CPS system is very bad where I am from. I have had many friends in the same situation go ignored by CPS and the police, and face horrible abuse in the foster care system. That’s why I feel so trapped.
