Maybe I don't have it so bad then."

Penguin, sit down and think about how your life would be after you get your "freedom" from your parents. THere are plusses and minusses to every situation. Hope you consider them all. I don't know your mom, but I'd be willing to bet she has your best interest in mind more so than "...someone else to stay with for a while" does. Good luck man.
The reason I was defending StonedPenguin wasn't just because I'm a teenager and have some stupid senseless angst towards my parents (which I don't), I just have a close friend (my best friend in fact) who lived the neglectful parents and wouldn't have maintained sainity very long if he hadn't of moved out. He wasn't happy about it and missed home but it was the smartest decision he could make and he is now doing much better. But I suppose you guys are right, this wouldn't always be the wisest course of action.
