I live with my mother in a two bedroom apartment and just a few months ago my mother went off the wall. Other family members know of her temper as well, but this happened in late september when our phone bill was dissconnected. I talked on my cell phone at night to my friends since i couldnt do it any other way and she didnt approve of it even though i was on a 5000 min night and weekend plan. I kept telling her of how I wouldnt run over and she caught me talking on it. She went off (like many other times while i was growing up) and even threatened me. She even called my grandfather and told him that i may have to live with him before she hurts me so my grandfather let me stay with him until thing calmed down. I told him that i couldnt do it anymore and he told me i dealt with her for 16 years and i can do it for another 2. I just want to know how can I make sure that if i get emancipated it will be effective? I dont think i have anyone to live with though, because my grandfathers apartment wont allow two people and my grandmother lives in a senoir home. Im 16 years old and i really cant stand being here much longer.
