Question

I converted to Islam recently and I don't have a Muslim family member. I am confused as to how I should go about getting married when the time comes. And, for the moving out part, Is is permissable? I mean I live with my mother and her boyfriend and they do drugs and stuff. I am worried about my safety. Is it permissable to move if I can make it on my own? I am 17. My parents have also forbid me to wear scarf in there house and when I'm out with them. What shall I do? I have tried to reson with them and I stay kind to them I am just not sure if Allah will punish me for my parents' ways.
