Legal Questions

My mother is abusing me. I'm 23 years old. Can I just leave?

My mom has been abusing me since I was seven years old. She has been hitting me with combs, brushes, pushing me down the stairs, throwing me on the ground, kicking me. Now that I'm 23 years old, I want to move on my own because I can't handle it anymore. How can I leave mom's house if she's my legal guardian?
