I am glad you posted. Have you ever read anything about women whoare battered? We advise them to make an escape plan. You can make an escape plan the same way. Are your parents holding money over your head? Are you going to go to college? You are 18, it's not running away. If you are going to college then just go, move and find excuses to not go back during breaks. Oh I got invited too... You can use the energy you are focussing on running with to make the best plan you can. If you still need your parent's financial support then you'll have to play alone but prtect yourself as you do so. I wish you luck.
