Answer

There is a legal process called "Emancipation," in which you are legally separated from your parents and allowed to live on your own. You may not be able to depend on child support from your parents and a job may not be enough.

Answer It depends what you call abuse. If you are beaten or sexually abused please see your Mental Health and they will lead you on to Child Welfare. If you just don't like the rules of the home you live (that means set regulations for a 17 year old living and home and not including beatings or sexual abuse), my suggestion is to tough it out until you are 18. If you are beaten or sexually abused it is best to contact your local Mental Health and let them help you or go to a Women's Abuse Center where counsellors will help you and you will be given aid throughout the court system.

You could also appeal to other, safer family members (grandparents? aunts? uncles?) to see if they would try to gain custody of you - legal guardianship. There are things that can be done. Try to find someone you can confide in - disclosure is the first step. Get help.
