Recently last summer I moved to Oregon with my mom. I used to live in South Carolina with her were my dad currently lives. And I have not enjoyed the time here with my mom and would like to move in with my dad. I’ve lost a great amount of weight and I’ve been extremely depressed. I told my mom that the main reason for my depression was her and her boyfriend/fiancĂ© because they neglect me and make me feel bad about myself. I sit in my room all day and when I told here that I am unhappy and why. She said I should try to spend more time with them but I can’t just seeing them makes me upset. And I told her I want to move back to South Carolina with my dad and she said no it’s not my choice. I’m 16 years old and I know it’s not exactly my choice but the judge takes my choice into high consider. My dad can’t afford a lawyer so I want to try to get in contact with a judge and talk to him about my situation. So I don’t know what to do I don’t feel like I can live here anymore.
