I know the laws of emancipation that is why I said besides that. Its not that her parents don't want her to be living with me so much that, its that we have to hide the relationship from them. Oy here goes the long story.
We went to high school together and we became friends, I had my drivers' license (and a car) and so I didn't mind giving people rides. She is in CAP (civil Air Patrol) and had a meeting her dad wouldn't take her for any reason except that he just didn't want to (honestly he said I don't feel like it) so she asked me if I would take her, I said as long as your parents say its alright (we weren't thinking about dating at the time) so she goes and says can a friend take me. He busts out with whose this how old is he and all the stuff she tells him I'm 18 and I can drive he yells I'm not letting some pedophile drive my daughter anywhere. He's like maybe if I knew this boy maybe, So being very pissed but reasonable, I tell her to tell him, ok how about I take you your wife and 3 kids out for breakfast, my treat. He says it's to late for that. Few months ago he starts trying to get her to date several teenage boys my age, he also makes a few not so fatherly comments (I bought her a phone with service and I pay the bill so we can talk without them knowing). She was talking to me and hides the phone under the covers on her stomach cause she heard him coming into her room, then he looks at her walks out she starts talking and she hides it again and he looks at her and says I am about to jump in there with you (thinking she is masturbating). THIS IS HER "STEPFATHER" (her mom and him arn't married yet) and I am in the wrong?
When I say not treating her right, I don't mean oh your grounded for failing a class I mean her mom pulls her hair because she tells her she is feeling dizzy and cant really set the table at that moment. Her parents are abusive and emotionally destructive. I would call DCS but she would probably be moved to Jacksonville (like 6 hours north of me) and I would never get to see her. We are trying to find and alternative way to fix this situation.
To SeniorJudge
She has a job, but she's still trying to focus on school (her parents limit how much she works by grounding her all the time). Its also illegal for a minor to work of i think tis 35 hours a week. She can't really work as much as she wants without their permission. They keep threatening to kick her out then call the cops and say she's a runaway (I am sure that's illegal). Not to mention all the above stuff. I mean she wanted to take advanced classes over the summer for school but they wont let her saying that her brother (9yrs old I think) needs a baby sitter. (She has cousins/aunt that lives across the street)
