    Today my parents told me we are moving to England in three weeks desipite my college, relationship, and sanity. I tried to get a lawyer but they told me I have no rights as a minor. They signed a contract for us to stay in England for the next 2 years. I have to find new homes for my dogs and I feel like I'm losing everything. I've been in a serious relationship for a year and they expect me to just give everything away and move across the world for their satisaction. My boyfriends mother offered to let me stay there but my parents are very religious and would never alow that. I need help.
