My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Texas.
I am 16 years old and I have a son. I understand that has nothing to do with emancipation. My mother and I have always had problems. Not the normal mother daughter fighting. My mom has always had problems with opioids. Keeping in mind she has prescriptions for these but doesnt follow dosage. She has a chemical imbalance also. She babysits my son while I go to school. I am a sophomore in high school. We fight constantly to a point it sometimes becomes physical. (Not by my doings.) Sometimes my son is involved in the fights when he should not be. My mother drove extremely dangerously with my son and I in the car (100 mph passing cars when other cars are swerving off the road to avoid her.) She has tried to kick me out of her car and never actually lets me get out. She tells me to leave and I do. She calls and tells me to come home (I do knowing that she still controls where I am at all times.) It has become a very serious situation to where I have ralked to many authorities. I had filed a police report. I feel this is a very unsafe enviorment for my son and myself. I have a job offering. I am waiting until school is out to pursue. (This friday school ends.) I have good grades and I also have a house I could rent. I can apply for medicade in my own name and my son is on medicade. Should I try for emancipation and if so how do I begin? Keep in mind I dont want to be on my own just yet but I feel it is necessary.
