Answer #1

first of all I suggest maybe trying to tell your family how you feel when they fight. not lettin them know why you wanna move is probably one of the reasons your moms worried. if you do feel you absolutely need to leave, maybe start off just living with a friend or somewhere closer. alaska really should be a last option considering you would have to get used to an entirely different place,get a new job,and a new school.hope I helped^_^

Answer #2

I would try and sit her down and tell her everything that you have put down here. Tell her that you feel that you are mature enough to live on your own, and give examples of how you support yourself, such as your job and extra shifts. But before you do any of this, ask yourself if you are independent enough to live without any financial support from your Mum.

Good luck!
