I am currently 17 (female) and am planning on moving out as soon as I can. Long story short, my dad was rather abusive. I want out but am waiting until college to move out. I don’t know what I will need to do to move out. I want to legally change my last name as I don’t want to have that reminder of my abuser. I also want my own place to live. What do I need to do in preparation?
How do I get out?

I can’t help much, but first thing I would say is ensure that you have a job and see if you can get ahole of your important documents (birth cert/Social Security Card etc). To my knowledge, once you turn 18, there’s nothing they can do to stop you. You don’t owe them shit. Good luck ♥️
