You should contact a family law attorney or go see legal aid. If you are being abused, DCF can help. Just not being happy at home, though, is not likely to be sufficient reason to override parental authority.

Contact DCF. Explain your situation to them. Ask them to investigate. If your situation is the result of abuse, they will remove you from the home. Then you can ask your friend's mom to intervene and apply for guardainship/custody of you.
