I am a 16 year old girl, turning 17 come january. I am interested in emancipation from my family, unfortuneately I dont fit the criteria, I am unmaried, without child of course, and not in the army, the only part i question is the last clause, i have been researching emotional abuse, i fit it like the description was made about me, my mom is known for emotional blackmail, and things of that sort, a time ago she found out about a boy i met, hes alot older than me, and she chased him away. i understand her disliking him, he is older, but he also cares about me and has promised not to even look at me until ive turned 18... how sweet, anyways, he heard alot about me and my mothers fights, nothing physical, just things like "you disgust me so much i wish i could just throw up all over your lap" my mom was a buelimic, and im afraid would do somthing like that, whenever she and i fight i get really stressed out, and it gets hard to breathe, its gotten pretty bad in the past, to the point where i passed out crying in bed, im just glad she didnt see it. The same boy i mentioned before, has said if i got myself emancipated i wouldnt be alone, that financially he would support me, although i know if i got a job i could support myself, im perfectly sane, and i have been trying desperately to prove myself, i know i could manage my own money and fit one of the criteria, but my mom has told me if i get a job the money will be put in an account only she can access and she can take from it as she pleases but i cant. i really wish there was a graceful way to get my parents to lay off or to make the fighting stop but i mean, im 16, my parents and i will fight, i just know itll be easier for my little sisters in the house if they dont hear me and my mom fight, although i worry about my youngest sister who has already been told "ill always love you, your my baby, but i dont like you" that was earlier this year, and i dont really know what i can do about any of it, im a teenage girl, what happens if i dissobey my mom. exactly what has happend, im getting a little more freedom, finally, but i want to show exactly how much of an adult i am. and i cant not from home, and all that is happening is me and my mom are at eachothers throats continuously. do i have a chance at emancipation or is it a longshot? and is there anything i can do about me and my moms problems so that i dont get hurt and she doesnt, and my little sisters dont?
