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.
