The process of resigning has been streamlined, and many have gone before you.
See the directions here:
http://www.exmormon.org/remove.htmBasically: Resign via email by following the directions in the above link. Greg Dodge's office will forward your resignation to your local bishop. The bishop may contact you in order to determine if that's what you really want to do, in which case just tell him yes, and to proceed with the paperwork. You do NOT have to meet with the bishop even if he requests a meeting. The bishop sends the paperwork back to the COB and usually within a month or two, you get the notice that your name has been removed.
Note: You are officially out of the church once Greg Dodge's office receives your resignation. The rest is just the church shuffling its own paperwork (although people do like to get the resulting acknowledgement.)
There is no guarantee that the church will cease all contact once you have resigned, but the chances are decent that will be the case.
How are things going for you now? I'm sorry that your dad kicked you out of the house at such a young age. That's tough.
