    Angry Emancipation Due to Abuse

    My question involves child abuse or neglect in the State of: New York

    I have been emotionally abused by my mother since childhood. I really cannot stand for her frequent emotional swing and aggressive control anymore. My grade in school is always effected by my unusual family situation. I am turning 17 this December, so I want to declare emancipation and move out from the apartment we currently share with my cousin's family. Unfortunately I do not have a stable economic income, but I am doing part-time work and want to share apt with others (the rent will cost about $400-500). I will also need assistant to apply for public benefit such as food stamp. I am totally mature and know how to make the reasonable decision for myself. As matter of fact, I have been pretty stressful in the past (even attempted to commit suicide). We tried to communicate, but she never changed. I think she never realize that she is abusing me emotionally, and she suffers from the pain too. I think I am have impulse control disorder because of my family environment, and I also suffer from other personality disorders. I feel unsafe and stressful while I am home, especially with my mother. I think now is the right time to declare emancipation. I would like to move out and live in my own life with personal privacy (my mom checks my phone and everything, she asks all the details about my friends and forbid me from social life). I would like to continue my education in my current high school as a Junior and attend college later now. I also want to get court order that forbid my mother from going to my high school after successful declaration. Because she will do unreasonable things in front of school facilety and students, in order to get my attention, that will bring me unnecessary troubles. Because I want to have privacy in front of my teachers and classmates and live like "normal" student regardless my special emancipation status. I made this decision base on reason and facts, therefore want to achieve my purpose in a legal way.

    Abuse is never, ever, ever, ever, ever grounds for emancipation. If you are not already living outside the home with at least the tacit permission of your parents and supporting yourself, emancipation is not going to happen. Period. No matter how many but-what-ifs you come up with as reasons why the laws do not apply to you.

    I also suffer from other personality disorders


    This, right there, is a guarantee that EVEN IF you were living outside the home and supporting yourself, the state would not emancipate you.

    Thank you for your reply, but I think you mixed me up with someone else. I do not have sister nor did I experience any sexual abuse. I am a mentally independent and financially independent teen seeking not for suggestion, but action. I would like to know if you know any public resource that I can take advantage of. I am currently looking for place to file my claim. Again, I want to do this from a legal perspective.

    Then I'll remove my edit. But the first part of my post stands. It was written in response to your post, not to the person I confused you with.

    Apparently you are not financially independent at all and in fact your intent is to be financially dependent upon the taxpayers.

    you have no chance at all of being emancipated, if you are abused contact CPS and report it so the state may place you in foster care.
