Can/will CPS remove me from my home?
My home is very cluttered, with mice, bugs, rotting food, and bad smells. I live with my dad and ever since my mom died last June of cancer I've kind of been raising myself. I mostly eat at school, because the food is often expired and dad can't really cook. He has trouble seeing and hearing, and has some mental problems. All of this started when i asked my dad about a million times to get me an appointment with a councilor because I'm having a hard time grieving my mom. He shrugged it off, even though i made it clear that I really needed to speak with someone regularly. I have also been depressed, and when dad didn't take me to a councilor, I asked to go to the doctor. After a month he didn't do that either. So I talked to my guidance councilor about it and explained the home situation. Since dad wouldn't take me to the doc from just me asking we decided to have the nurse call and make an excuse for me to see the doctor, and he would have to take me. So he took me to the doctor and she suggested and demanded that my dad take me to a councilor. Two weeks later, he still hasn't even considered it. My guidance councilor considers this neglect and i sort of do too. So she called DCF. Honestly, I want to get out. I feel threatened by my dad's behavior and I don't feel safe at home. He often gets angry and has tantrums and tyrants, and takes it out on me. I'm 15 and I am a stubborn teenager but I don't do anything to make him angry because I'm afraid of him and what he might do. I've hidden that I have a boyfriend and my dropping grades from him out of fear. I don't want to live like this. I don't feel that my house is sanitary or that he is meeting my needs. I'm only 15 and i really can't raise myself and him. I have a few aunts who would gladly take me in and I know I would be much more comfortable and better taken care of with them. My dad doesn't like my mom's sisters and for some reason thinks they all carry guns and are horrible people. But he has no reason to believe that. If my dad doesn't want me to go with them would CPS not put me with them? Would I be able to leave at all?
