Moving Out?

I'm an almost 16 year old teenager who's parents are divorced, and I live with my mum and my sister. I have depression and my mum literally has a talent for making everyone feeling bad about theirselves if she wants to. She has depression herself, but I just think she has no consideration for other people in general. I've been putting up with this my whole life, but mainly since 2001. My dad left because of the way she treats him, and I wish I could do the same but I would have no where to go. I've tried living with my dad before but that didn't work out. I love my dad more than anyone in the world, but I think just living with him would be a diaster. He's more rigid and I'm more flexible, and it didn't work out last time.

I honestly don't think I would want to live with any relatives or any close friends, so would I just have to wait until I can support myself and move out, and obviously have counselling sessions with self-confidence?

It's just so confusing. I don't know what I want.

Maybe moving out at 15 isn't a great idea Jenny. You ARE young, but I know how unhappy you are at home. I'd say try talking to your mum but we both know you've tried that. Are you sure living with your dad wouldn't be better? It seems you can talk more, and compromise with him, more so than your mother?

That's true. Maybe him being so strict might be better in the long run, cause I would know what's more expected of me and I could grow stronger.
