Wanting to be emancipated

[ihatethiss]

I want to be emancipated from my mother because she has mental issues. My father and she were never married and so he is not in the picture at all. My mother has been diagnosed with, paranoia, depression, and anxiety. She does not take her medication correctly. One of the main problems is that she never believes me; she always yells at me and tells me that I am drinking, doing drugs, or having sex. She even took me to the gynecologist to see if I was still a virgin and the next day, after not seeing my boyfriend because he was in another state for soccer tells me that I have had sex, even after the gynecologist said that I had not. She still does not believe me. This all came about when someone wrote “murder” backward on our house. Then my mom started to think that someone was out to kill her. My boyfriend, who has been there through all of this, and I started dating about a month before this happened. Then my mom starts thinking it is him. She said the food doesn’t taste the same, there is something on her pillows, and people are following her. She starts not going to work. She is too scared to live in our house, even with an ADT alarm system; she still thinks someone comes in at night. So she had me live with my boyfriend, at the time of three months, for 6 days and 7 nights. I did not see my mom during that time. My boyfriend, two years older than me and a freshman in college, national honors society, and plays college sports, would take me to school then he would go to class and pick me up take me to work if needed and pick me up then help me with my homework. Then two weeks after my mom has him do that, I go to visit a friend of mine in Florida, where I am now desperate for help, and the third day I am there she calls me and tells me I am going to live there until who knows when. She and my “friend” here say that my boyfriend is a drug dealer and does drugs when I know he doesn’t and never has. He also gets tested at college and has never failed. No one from where he and I went to high school believes my mom. But she says that I am here because she cannot take care of me. So, she gave temporary custody to these people down here until this summer when she says I will now come home. They, the people I am living with and my mother, will not let me talk to any of my friends from WV and will not let me talk to my boyfriend. The only way I did was about 3 months ago they left me alone for 5 minutes and I asked a random person in the mall for his cell phone and called my boyfriend. They will not let me do anything. I am so scared and do not know if my mom will ever be able to take care of me. My boyfriend’s mom said I could live with her when I had thought about this before if I ever did. I want to do that, and it would only be for a year then I could live with my boyfriend once I turned 18. My mom has told me she is not a mother and I have a job and make good grades and play high school sports. She is not fit to take care of a child, let alone a teenage girl. PLEASE help me and tell me what to do!!! Thanks

1. What state are you from?
2. How old are you?
3. Who exactly is this person you are living with now and what is their relationship to you?
4. Where exactly is your father and when was the last time you had any contact with him, if at all?
No one can even begin to give you an accurate answer without the above information. However, one of the universal qualifications of emancipation is the ability to be self-supportive. That does NOT mean living with a boyfriend or any other person that is willing to voluntarily assist you financially.

I am from West Virginia, just currently living in Florida with a “friend” and her parents. They are absolutely no relation to me other than “friends”. I am 16 I will turn 17 in July of this year. My father is more than likely in Maryland, but I don’t know. I talked to him about 6 months ago now. Again because the people I am staying with will not let me talk to anyone. They took my cell phone, the only way he had to contact me, and it has been turned off and taken from me since a few days before Thanksgiving. I cannot go be with my father because he has been under house arrest many times and it was for drugs. He has been to jail as well. My parents were never married, and he left us about the time I was 6 or so. As for the self supporting I could. I have a large amount of money in the bank, and I am working while here in Florida at a Finish Line as I was at home, in WV, before I left, and not spending hardly any of the money. It is all being saved so i can leave my mom. I already paid for my own clothes, food; the only thing I do not have is a car, but I'm sure I could find one and also cover the insurance. Thanks for getting back to me.
