Ciar agony auntYou can either apply for a scholarship as has been suggested or bide your time, acquire skills, earn whatever money you can until you're ready and able to move out on your own. Don't announce your plans to anyone, naturally, as you don't want to give anyone time to sabotage them. Stay below the radar and when you have all your ducks in a row make your move.

malletchick76 agony auntTry to apply for scholarships. There is a lot of money out there so take the time to write an amazing essay and I'm sure you'll get something. These prompts are often all about hardship, and based on what you just described, you'll be a shoe-in.

However, I'm not sure if you do apply for scholarships that you will get the money, and not a family member. You might need to look into that.

I would not recommend running away without money. Save a little bit here and there in a private place for now.
