Can You Emancipated Based on a Lifetime of Emotionl Abuse

[snicole]

My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Missouri
From as far back as i can remember my parents have always fought with each other, always. Them fighting is the main thing I remember about my childhood. In terms of physical abuse, my mother has slapped me a few time, and my father has grabbed my arm so tight that he left a hand print, he also threw my cell phone against my bedroom wall, barely missing my head. I've been screamed at so many times. I've been afraid for my life many times, as well. When I was 13 I was put in a Mental hospital, because of suicidal idealization, self harm, running away threats, anxiety, and depression. and I honestly believe its partially their fault. Last week, they were fighting and my mum came in crying and so she locked the door, my dad wanted in and when he realized it was locked, he kicked the door until he broke the door frame, the she hit him because she was mad about the broke door, then he slapped her. They called each other names, as always. When she told him to leave, he grabbed his gun and threatened to kill himself. this is obviously traumatic for me since im 16 and had to sit there and watch it all. They are always screaming Im sick of it. Ive been thinking about this for a long time. Do you think that im eligible for emancipation? If so, how hard would this be to accomplish since my parents wont give consent? If not, what are my other options? I need help, I cant deal with this any longer, I need options, choices. This is making my life extremely hard and school work harder.

Not even close.

Talk to a counselor at school, a teacher you trust, a pastor, priest, rabbi or other religious figure you trust, or even the parent of a friend. I completely understand how upsetting this is and they may have some suggestions. But emancipation is NOT an option; you have posted nothing to suggest you qualify even if it were; and unless you are removed from the home by the state you live where your parents say you live until you are 18.
