I'm 16 almost 17 living in NC with my mom and I am seeking emancipation. I can not get a job because I am forbidden by my mom, but I have a place to stay if I emancipate. I understand what emancipation would bring and have thought over this very thoroughly.
The reasons I am seeking emancipation are very simple. I am constantly mentally abused by my mother. When I get sick I'm abused even further and punished being called a liar and a slut and all these other things. On top of that I can't go to a doctor, she refuses to take me. Just recently I have lost most of my hearing in me right ear after having strep throat and stomach flu, and I have been doing my best to fix it. I have tried ear drops, antibiotics, and cleaning the living daylights out of it. Still there has been very little change in my ability to hear. If your child lost most of their hearing in their ear and it wasn't getting better wouldn't you take them to the doctors? This is the first time my health has been meaningless and I can't go through this anymore. It makes me sicker and sicker, I can be vomitting and have a fever and off to school I go making me even worse. On several occassions I have been vomitting and in the school nurse and have been threatened to be kicked out if she had to take me home.
My fiance's and his family take far better care of me, without them I wouldn't even be able to get the medications I needed for my strep throat and ear. Family life at my house is also not too great. My dad sexually abused me and was an alcoholic after my mom divorced him. They fought really bad all the time to the point of physically striking one another. But then she remarried to a guy who was an alcoholic and drug addict. He took money from us and bought drugs and they were constantly fighting. He finally got clean or so we thought and he sobered up. But then christmas eve instead of coming home from work he went to a friends house and got drunk. I had to break the law and drive on my permit without a licensed driver for him. When he became conscious again he camme in the house and was looking for his gun and yelling he was going to kill us and himself. And I can't keep doing this. I can't keep dealing with this. My health is declining both physically and mentally and my grades are starting to show it. I am really smart, honestly, but I can't keep up all the time when I have all this going on. The only thing that really keeps me going is my fiance. He worries so much about it and wants to help so bad, but he can't just take me to the doctor because it'd be kidnapping. He still does his best. He's in the army and is fully capable of supporting me as well.
Can anyone give me advice? please?
