Help!...i need to know...now what?

my family sucks right now both parents are really abusive but in different ways and are divorced the entirety of my moms family believes my mom is a little angel and my dads in afraid of my dad so ive decided today after i decided to tell mom yet again how i feel and her yet again treat me badly so ive decided now that i need out of the house i need to get out and do something i dont know so the choices are: emancipation and get a job and apartment, foster care, live with a friend (if i could find one who'd be willing to take me), mercy ministries (in another state & residential care & school goodness), pressley ridge (though im not quite "troubled" enough to go there but its similar to foster care but with therapy & stuff), stay in the situation to endure more abuse & more pain & flunk out of school (because considering, my grades arent too good no matter how hard i try its never good enough) something else...any ideas?...when i was little at 16 i never thought this would be my life

Yes Pressley Ridge is Therapeutic Foster Care. And you do qualify.

This is not "residential'" as so called. (Which would a large residential home. Where kids go before Pressley, a lot of times.)
A Pressley Ridge home, is a home.
Where you are taught how to deal with your past, present, and future.
You'd go to regular counseling, 2 to 4 times a month. You'd go to regular schools, and regular friends.
You might be the only child, or may be another, or more. But you're never crowded.
You're not lost in the system.
You will be set up to continue your life as an adult.
You can ask and go to anybody at any time in the Pressley Ridge Family, for advice and help. It is one BIG family.

Does that help you?

I do not believe that you are ready to be on your own yet. Furthermore, you are not obligated to speak to anyone in your family about what you wish to do, about this situation. When the time comes to leave... just tell the that you do love them, but you need a better life for yourself, and that you will stay in contact with them. That would be a less stress, all the way around. But that's my opinion.
