Im 16 (17 in September) and I really have a strong need to get emancipated. First off, I live in North Carolina. My mother is mentally abusive. If I do something that she doesnt like (from failing my math exam to not putting a plate in the dishwasher) that im a disappointment and that she can't stand to even look at me. Shes called me cow, a b----- and told me I was never going to be anything. She has told me that she should start beating me to get her point across and that she was going to make it where I wouldnt have any contact with the outside world. She's also said she wanted to kill me a few times. She has threw glasses and phones towards me. My step-father is constantly yelling at me and threatening to knock my teeth down my throat. My mother has told me that if I ever tell anyone or call social services she'll find me and beat me to death. I don't know what to do. A few weeks ago I broke and started crying to my cousin about everything that was going on and my great-aunt read the chat conversation and has offered to help me and let me live with her. Mom acts like a totally different person in public, just the sweetest and happiest person you've ever met but once shes alone with me she starts everything again. Is there anyway to go around the legal constent of a parent to get emancipated? Or is there any other option I have to get away? Could I possibly file for emancipation and stay with my Aunt until I am emancipated? If she finds out im looking for a way out im afraid she'll beat me and make my life even more horrible. I dont have access to a school counselor (im a online high school student) and calling child services and having a discussion with them is out of the question because she is constantly around. I need a quick and clean way out where there isnt a possibility of me ever having to be around her again. Please help me.
