Okay, so here's the deal. I turned 17 in December, and I'm currently residing in Florida. When I was 15 my mom kicked me out and I moved in with my dad who lived in Michigan. We had a great relationship and he was just about to get legal custody of me (I was then 16) when he passed away last July. From there I was forced to move back in with my mother. She picks a fight with me constantly and we RARELY ever get along. I know you normally have to have legal consent to be emancipated, but is there anything I can do to get out of my situation? Living with her is not just not an option anymore. I'm not physically abused, but I'm verbally abused, and no abuse is okay. I'm very depressed all of the time, and my mother doesn't seem to have any compassion. I believe the only reason she wants me to live with her is so she can collect money from my father's death. I need help!
