A possible emancipation

Throughout most of my life I have been terrified of my mother's rages. She is normally a loving, caring mother, and I do care about her very much, but she can get to the utmost extremes when I do as little as not where a dress that she wants me to wear. She has only hit me twice, but her screaming rages get to the point that you feel as if physical abuse would be much kinder. I am over sixteen, though I do not have a job, but I have several friends with parents and friends over eighteen who would be willing to take me in and help me provide for myself. Would it be possible for me to be emancipated by only my mother (not my father) with these circumstances?
Hope I hear from this soon, because this is a situation that needs speed.

Or, if emancipation is not available, perhaps you could tell me what I could do?

Quoting Oregon Emancipation Law

---

Emancipation gives you certain rights of an adult. You must be at least 16 years old, able to support yourself, live on your own, and manage your own affairs. You need to file a Petition for Emancipation with the Juvenile Court in the county where you live and give a copy of it to your parents. The court will set a hearing to make the decision. The judge will decide if it is in your best interest to be emancipated by considering whether you have been living away from your parents and can support and care for yourself without parental assistance and supervision. If the court allows you to be emancipated, your parents will have no duty to support you, you will be treated as an adult under criminal laws, and you will have the right to contract, sue, and be sued. Emancipation does not give you the right to drink alcohol, vote, or marry.
