Know your ISP. Im 17 yo, my mum is threatening to kick me out of the house she admits im a good kid, but after a lifetime of drunken abuse i had enough, i started to stand up for myself and she can stand me now, i have no criminal record, i dont stay out late, i do my chores, but she still wants me out, i recently finished high school and have no job, what am i supposed to do I would suggest moving in with friends for a week or two to help you through the initial stage of moving out. If you have family your trust elsewhere it may be worth trying to follow that up. Don't take things personally, it sounds you have gone through allot of crap and you were just caught in the crossfire. A job is worth looking at gain some independence and a source of income, you should still be receiving financial support from your parents as you are not yet 18. If you shoot an email to centrelink they may be able to work out a support plan with you. Make sure you talk to someone if things get tough, its a big change and it is normal to be upset and stressed. I cant afford to go for my learners without help from my mum but she wont, it is very difficult to get a job without a license and a car, i cant find any jobs in the local
