    I Want to Emancipate Myself
    right now I am 15 I will be 16 very soon.I want to be emancipated, can I emancipate myself? Can anyone help me through the process of emancipating myself? I have lived with my mom all my life, my dad and her divorced when I was 2. My dad has no contact and has pretty much abandoned me and doesn't even talk to me anymore I haven't talked to him since I started highschool. I am almost at the end of my sophomore year now. But I have lived with my mom just me and her for all my life pretty much. There has been many boyfriends in and out and they seem to get worst and worst as she gets more boyfriends. The current one right now has I don't know how many DUIs on his record and still continues to drink and drive and my mom allows it. She has never made me get in the car while he was driving under he influence but she has had me in the car with him having a open container drinking it while she was driving. When my mom first met this guy she didn't tell me anything about him, left me with my boyfriend and told me she was going to hangout with one of her friends and the last time I texted her was 6 that afternoon. So around 9 I tried texting her just seeing when she was planning on coming home and she never answered so I called her friend which told me hat she had never heard from my mom and that she hasn't seen her. So I proceed to begin to worry about it I mean as I daughter it is a natural thing. So I called my uncle Ralph and my grandpa and they came over to my house and sat with me and my boyfriend and at this point it is about 12:00 at night and she still hasn't contacted anyone. I thought she was in trouble because she has always told me everything we are very close. This is where we began to seperate. I finally got a text from her saying she was headed home at about 2am. I didn't feel safe so I went back to my granny and papas house and me and my boyfriend stayed there with them. After about 30 minutes my mom called me and told me its was stupid of me to be some worried and that I was ridiculous for calling all those people looking for her, that she had just went to meet this guy that she is still currently with. So that is where we tore apart when she told me I was ridiculous for worrying about her. So she acted like it was no big deal and it was never talked about again she just blew it off. Right now her boyfriend lives a few blocks from us because she has moved him here near us. The boyfriend has 2 younger kids, 7 and 9, and a older son that also lives with him that is 23-24 I'm not completely sure his age. But every night almost my mom makes me go over to his house and eat and makes me stay there to 9 or later every night even when I tell her I have a lot of homework and I need to go home. She just says ok we will go home early and then proceeds to stay until 9 or later every night. Recently she has started making me stay the night over at his house on school nights and making me sleep on the pull out couch that is incredibly uncomfortable. I am a light sleeper and I am woke up several times a night by the kids getting up or some cars passing by or anything really. Her boyfriend gets up at 4 am to go to work and I get woke up every time she gets up in the morning and I just don't get enough sleep to be able to function for school. She tells me that school is the most important thing but she continues to put me under him on her list of importance. I just can't handle it anymore. I have been through so many boyfriends with her that I'm just done with it I can't deal with it or her anymore. She makes me stay the night at his house every weekend. I am a really good kid I don't understand how I could deserve to put through all of this. It's so stressful at this point I'd rather be at school than home. I am really good I make amazing grades in school I make straight A's with a occasional B without hesitation. She doesn't ask me to do my homework doesn't ask me to make grades I do it on my own. On top of that I ride my horses every afternoon and show them. I am training 2 horses right now and still handling my school work without a problem. I have went so far as to get a job I went for my first interview yesterday and they want me to come for a trial tomorrow. I am using this job as a way to get away from the house and because I want to emancipate myself and be able to prove I can support myself. I am very motivated to do this I just need someone to help me get there. Please if anyone can help me or give me advice please help me I need to get out of this house I can't handle the stress anymore. That is just a rough summary of what I am going through right now. If anyone can help me follow through with this emancipation process please help me.
