I’m 17 years old, completely miserable.

I know most teenagers complain about wanting to leave where they live right? well… My situation is a bit different.. I’ve lived with my paternal grandmother eleven years and I have been depressed and sad since, constant fighting. I cry everyday I barely feel like I am alive anymore. I attempted suicide five times. I’m miserable.. my heart is so lonely. My boyfriend lives in Florida he came here and visited me and stayed with me at my real moms a week ago. ( I can’ stay with her shes poor) He asked me to come with him to FL and I was so close to going. But I figured to many problems would come of that choice.
Anyways my uncle would take custody of me but I know myself that could take years I’ll be 18 in a year… and I am so determined to not live in this horrid putrid house another year. I am to miserable for that. I’m trying to convince her to sign custody to someone… but as we know misery loves company so she needs me to feed into her hate I don’t know. I don’t think I deserve this.. life has always kind of sucked for me… I’m trying so hard right now so hard. I’m so afraid I wont make it. TERRIFIED. I’m not going to give up. But everyday seems to get harder for me. It could take years for my uncle and aunt to get custody… and I am not stupid enough to run away people could get into a **** load of trouble. I don’t see how the court would grant me emancipation I don’t have a job which I am not allowed to get the devil I live with will not let me… I still try though. . and I cannot support myself. My BF wants me to go down to FL to live with him and his mom. I’d finish school there and be so happy…my uncle suggests I go to the probate court to be granted permission to marry my BF..were very in love but I’m only seventeen. how exactly does emancipation work? If I just ran away what would happen? What if I went to court and told them all this? I have a lot of peers and adults taht know how bad things are they can vouch for me. would I be granted emancipation ? Oh god… If we got married then I would be emancipated. What can I do. Staying here is not an option… and to say SUCK IT UP tears me up… I feel pathetic I can’t be here one more year before I’m 18 I’m home schooled online school I have to sit here 5 hours a day with my gramma while she yells at me I CAN’T TAKE THIS!!!!.. for one year all I want is….happiness I feel so selfish.. help me?
