How to run away from Home in Singapore?
I’m 19 this year and I have an overbearing father wanting to know my exact location, given me an airtag to carry around and restricts who I see.
Mind you, he was never like this before. This is because I got a boyfriend and he dislikes his parents so he wants to restrict me from seeing him.
I feel lost and hopeless because he makes me happy and now he’s currently in the hospital after undergoing a 17 hour surgery and he won’t let me see him.
I am sick and tired of having a father like this (other underlying issues too, not just this) Please if anyone has any idea how to run away from home in Singapore please give me advice.

- Since you’re not a child anymore, you don’t “run away”. That’s what kids do.
The best thing is to bide your time and try not to piss off dad. Get a job, save money, and move out like a responsible adult.
As long as you have no money, you are gonna be dependent on someone and that someone is gonna have rules. If you move out before you can take care of yourself financially, you’re gonna find yourself in a worse situation. - I see many replies here encouraging her to run away and be independent, which I understand is the natural response. However, we’re seeing only one perspective of the picture here, from the very tinted lens of a love sick teen struggling against her parent.
There’s no assurance that this boyfriend has her best interests at heart, and no indication if the daughter has a history of making good decisions.
It’s pretty irresponsible to just ask her to run away. If something goes wrong, and many things can go wrong, the father and daughter will be the ones left to pick up the pieces. We’ll just feel good about making an internet post for a minute. This family may be dealing with the fallout for a long, long time.
To the OP, ask yourself this. When you are taken advantage of, when you have no money, when you have no home, no bed and no where to stay, what will you do? Is your boyfriend going to be providing the same financial support your father currently does, or can you?
If you cannot afford to run away, then your options are very limited.
