Hi,
My name is Jen, I'm 14 years old, and I currently live with my mom, dad and brother in British Columbia, Canada. I have a job that's pretty stable, but it pays very little, due to my age.
My parents were seperated for a while when I was younger, and are back together now, but still argue alot. Although it never gets violent it's still depressing to hear your parents scream at each other. Also, after any disagreement between them, my mother always tells me how stupid the things my dad does are, and just generally trashes him. I don't mind that so much, as I mind my mother and my relationship. She always tells me she loves me, and I believe it, but I also believe she doesn't show it very well. If we ever disagree, she always tells me I'm just difficult and that I get it from my father. Usually the rest of the day when we disagree, she accuses me of "sulking" and treats me with much less respect! Although it's not much, it gets frustrating. :cry:
She always interupts me, and if I'm doing anything that might make a mess, she makes me feel like she cares about the carpet more then she cares about me. My friend also disagrees with her mother frequently, and is thinking of seeking emancipation too.
:arrow: 1) Do you think I have a case?
:arrow: 2) If I do, what steps should I take to learning more about the process?
:arrow: 3) How do I petition the court to get emancipated?
:arrow: 4) If I did get emancipated, is there any financial assitance and accomodation the court could offer me (and possibly my friend)?
Any information would be a help, I can't find anything useful on government sites. Thanks,
-Jen![]()
