Stay put until you can afford to pay for your own place and utilities unconnected to grandparents. As long as there are any financial ties they will continue to use that power to tell you what to do.

Is the property in their name?

talk to them and explain why you want your own place and then move. Child services will be gone before you can move out, because what they fail to see is that they can get into trouble also if they were doing nothing and you were really abusing your kids, which I can see from the picture he is not being abused at ALL. If you are living in their house with them, they are held just as responsible for allowing the so called abuse. I wish you the best of luck, but I would still move out as soon as possible.flowerforyou flowerforyou

Ok, so if the utilities are not in their name nor is the property, I still do not see how they can keep you from getting them turned on.

For the child protective stuff- like the OP said, they'll come, do their evalution and be on their way.

Okay, first of all they would have to be able to prove you were abusing your kids. And clearly I do not think you are so that is just nonsense.

Secondly, if they do not want to allow you to move into the other house then don't. They have assistance programs that will help you get established. Especially when you have kids.

And last, but not least.. I would sit down and talk to them. They obviously feel compelled to do this for a reason. Find out why. Listen to what they have to say. You may find that just by sitting and talking with them you will find a middle ground. And tell them how you feel as well about the situation. If you do not come to some sort of compromise, then there is option #2. I would research option #2 as much as possible so if something happens and they kick you out, you will have a place to go.

Remember, 99.9% of our worries never come to pass.. flowerforyou
