Hello! I am a 16 year old male. I live in Missouri. I am trying to figure out if it is legal for me to leave my parents house and go live with my grandparents in Texas.
I don't know if this is considered any type of abuse in the eyes of the law, but here is my situation.
A girl came to live with my family. She was 19 when she came and is now 20.
She claimed that she came to live us because she really liked being around my mom and because she didn't like living with her family. I have known this girl since I was about ten years old. I have liked her the whole time. When she came to live with us, we talked and it turns out she (supposedly) likes me as well. So at this point I am what I would consider (in love) with her. And since she is feeling the same towards me I was seriously considering marrying her when I was of age.
Anyway, so only two weeks after she moved in, my dad tells me that HE IS GOING TO MARRY HER! My dad is in his late thirties and is still married to my mom.(Who lives in the same house.) So anyway, it turns out that my parents are okay with polygamy and so is this girl. That was a huge shock to me that she would even consider marrying a man that is old enough to be her father and is already married! Well anyway that is what it is. That was maybe 8 months ago. I of course have asked and fought to be allowed to leave and go live with my grandparents. My dad does not let me. I have also said at the beginning of this disgusting affair that if this girl gets pregnant I AM LEAVING! I would run away if I have to. I felt like that would be too much for me to handle and be around. My dad originally said that he understands that and he will not let that happen until I am old enough to leave and am gone. Well here we are 8 or so months later... and she is pregnant. Has been for 2 or 3 months. I am so sick of this and have slit my wrists more than once. (Which my dad knows.) I am homeschooled, so I am home all day. I have tried but cannot concentrate on my school at all. I am falling behind in my grades. I am hesitant to leave because if I leave and the police come and take me back, I my be forced to live with them, my dad will take my phone and every thing that I value away, and I will be worse than grounded. My grandparents that live in Texas would like for me to come live with them. Would it be legal for me to go live with them even if my dad doesn't want me to? My mom would not mind if I went to live with them. So if only one parent refused to let me live with my grandparents, would the police come and take me back home?
