you don’t just pray about it

Answer by amarilysusa
I am not totally sure what to tell you, but l believe until you are 18, your mom can make you do pretty much anything, unless she has lost her parental rights on you.
At that point, you’ll have to wait until you are 18 to go live with that family you found for yourself.
Another option is to go to social services and talk to them and see if maybe they can do something for you.
Either way, good luck to you and l do hope everything will work out in the end.
