Can I move out of a depressing household?

I am 17. My parents are separated. I used to live with my mom but we had a huge, pointless fight over something extremely stupid. It ended up physical but I don’t totally blame her. I realize that I was wrong for swearing at her and calling her names, but it was wrong for her to come after me. We both kind of have anger problems because of the depression, anxiety etc. I currently reside with my dad because of the fight me and my mom had. She said she can’t deal with me anymore. All my life I have moved from school to school and even out of state. I don’t trust anyone except my grandma and my boyfriend. As I was growing up my dad was never home and my mom was an emotional wreck and just dropped me off at my grandma’s. I’ve never had anyone to REALLY tell my problems to and I’ve never had that someone to just tell me “It’ll be ok, everything will be all right”. Now I live with my dad and he’s all about family. But I’m to the point where thats not what I want anymore. I wanna start my own life and figure my own problems out. I have become an independent person. Cleaning my house doing chores taking care of the animals. I want to make my own decisions so I CAN better my life. Because right now, I am a depressed emotional wreck!! and I do have a job, I do pay for most everything I do and buy.

Hey hun, Honestly dont worry everything will work out. Me and my mom also did not get along at all! I thought that she was the bigest bitch. So my boyfriend got an apartment and i moved in with him. At first i loved it then a lilttle while later i missed home. But i realized that since i moved out me and my mom have gotten along better. Moving out on ur own is extremly expensive! but also quite relaxing to kno that its ur own place and no one can tell you what to do. I think that if u can find a good roomate than it might be better for you. Its lonely by yourself plus a roomate would help with the cost. So goodluck and try to cheer up hun everything will work out in time!
