I'm 16 and pregnant with parents that have not been very supportive. They want to send me to a maternity home, or put me in therapy because they believe I purposely put myself in this stressful situation. The father (also 16) and I plan on staying together, and he's been more than supportive. I understand being pregnant does not consider me emancipated, and that I cannot leave home before I turn 18, here in Texas. I have read that marriage, however, does consider you emancipated. And that the father and I could get a judicial bypass with a proof of pregnancy to get married without my parents consent. Then, I could stay in a more supportive and less stressful environment that would be much better for me and my growing baby. I've done lots of research for weeks now, but I know better than to believe everything I see on the internet, so I would just like to know if it's true, and if it is, how I could make it happen.
