I know, that to be emancipated, you have to be 16, and self-supportive, but thats if you want to go live on your own. I was wondering if it is any different if you had another family that wanted to adopt you.
I am 15, and I live in South Texas, Cameron County. My father is mentally as well as physically abusive, and my mother is somewhat mentally abusive. They are divorced, my mother lives in Houston. Every few months she is either getting evicted from her apartment, or getting fired from her job. There is no stability what-so-ever with her, and even though I love her, that's why I'm forced to live with my father. I hate my father more than anything. He used to beat my mother[thats why she divorced him], and he has been doing the same to me ever since I came to live with him. Recently, he has stopped it for the most part, since he's being watched by the CPS, but still, he yells at me 24-7 about anything and everything he can. He tells me that I'm going to grow up to be a crack-head and an alcoholic, and to be homeless. My family is not a safe, stable, or happy environment.
About a year ago, we moved to texas from Florida. In Florida, my dad had a family that he did business with, so we were always at thier house. They became like a second family to me, and their son even calls me his little sister. My dad was forced to leave Florida to come to Texas, and he wanted me to finish my school year there. So I lived with that family for two months, and it was the first time in my life I had a glimpse of what a normal family is like. They are completely willing to adopt me, but my father would never let me emancipate or live with him. To be taken away from him, I'm going to have to be taken by force.
Is the legal system on my side on this one?
