Can I Live With My Grandparents?

Question by Britney: Can I live with my grandparents?
I am 17 years old and my mom has moved 3 times in the past 3 years and she wants to move again. You see what happened was my mom was living with her boyfriend and he did a whole bunch of drugs and he was an alcoholic and he would come home in the middle of the night and argue and abuse my mom. My siblings and I had to go to multiple court hearings and we even had the state come to our school and question us about what happened at home, they wanted to take us away from my mom but my mom always told us to be careful about what we say to them or we’ll never see her again. So, Like she said I didn’t tell them everything that went on and my mom left the house we were living in to move in with my grandparents, While her boyfriend is in rehab, We’ve been living here for almost a year. But you see, He is about to get out of rehab and I’m certain that she’s only moving out so he’ll have a place to live and everything is going to happen all over again. I do not want to move with my mom. I lived with her and her boyfriend’s nonsense since I was in the 5th grade and I’m a senior this year. I have my own room living with my grandparents, and my mom wants me to move into a house where I’ll have to share a room with my brother AND sister.

I just don’t know what to do. I don’t want to live with my mother anymore, I can’t do it. Is it possible for a 17 year old who lives in Delaware to decide she wants to live with her grandparents?

Your help is greatly appreciated.
