It's long, but please bare with me. On Monday, I am planning on running away from home. My family has been struggling financially for years now and my parents have been having severe marital problems. They've said that they would get a divorce if they could afford it. I just can't take the constant yelling and screaming anymore and I've been very depressed and stressed for a while. I only have a bike and $250 on a debit card. I couldn't afford to buy myself a car and I could not get a job for the summer. I am 19 going on 20, so the police can't force me to go back home if I'm caught. I'm mainly worried about surviving forever on just a bike and $250 on a card. The majority of my extended family are dead or are too old for me to live with. I don't really have any close friends I could stay with either. How will I continue to meet my basic needs, like food/drink, clothing, shelter, and hygiene? Are there any free hotels? I'm considering just telling my parents that I'm going for a bike ride and just never come back. I live in New Jersey and I'll just ride until I'm many states away from home. I really need some help because I am DEAD set on doing this because I REALLY can't take living at home anymore. Thanks to everyone who responds.
Oh, I do go to college, but I'm on summer break until the very end of August.
