    Unhappy Emancipation at 15 in Minnesota

    My name is Reed, I am 15 years old, I'm adopted, I live in Jordan, Minnesota. I have trying to find about the emancipation of minors but, so far studying up on it is not helping me. I really want a away out, im perfectly capable of living on my own. I have a steady job and would have no problem paying the rent of a friends house or apartment. The reason i want to be emancipated is because I'm constantly fighting with my mom, she always takes her anger out on me and other family members, she is divorced and not much better than my father when it comes down to our family. Besides the fact that my mom dosen't abuse me as much as my father, and when she does she says its strictly "punishment", she still treats me like trash. She always yells at me, she won't let me establish a love life, most of the time she yells at me i have brakedowns and start crying, in which instance she calls me a little baby and yells at me for crying, lately its been getting worse. She tries to by me nice stuff so if the someone were to confront her about how she treats me she just says, and i quote "I put a roof over he's head, I by him nice stuff, he's only doing this for attention and will do anything to get that attention" and the truth is I dont care if she gave me the world i hate her, and i want to be away from all this stress. I have alternative places to live with friends who's parents are trying to help me get out of my family. If i dont find away out soon im going to kill myself because thats how my mom makes me feel, and when i say this im not joking around... someone please help me.

    You cannot be emancipated at 15 and if killing yourself is an option I suggest you seek counseling because if yor mental state is at a point you are considering suicide you would still not qualify for emancipation.

    Default Re: Emancipation at 15 in Minnesota

    I am 15 living in Baxter, Minnesota and also wanting to be emancipated. My name is Chelsey and I have similar issues with my my mom. My mother tells me to bottle up all of my feelings and yells at me for crying and having breakdowns also. And, being that my dad is an alocholic I have no other option but, to be emancipated. My mom and I have been living with her boyfriend, Doug, for about three years. Everything was well until I had gotten into some trouble in school (I was 13 at the time). Then everything went downhill from there. My mom and Doug started fighting about me constantly and always blaming me for their nasty fights. Their fights would consist of me being called names and accusing me of ridiculous things I and my mom knew that I didnt do. I am not a perfect child so when I was 13 I had backtalked to my mom and was grounded from all of my privaleages at way too long periods of time. Including my cell phone that I never got back. Eventually, my mom started to see that Doug wasn't exactly father figure material so in order for me not to get into trouble with him, she would lie to him. Telling him I was staying at my grandmas house when I was really staying at a friends house that he didn't trust. Or saying I was at my grandmas when I was at the movie theater. They are not married so I always wondered why he had a say in how my mom wanted to raise me. Doug has put my mom down so much about what she's doing wrong in my life that she has just given up and is listening and doing everyting that he says for punishment for me. Doug and my mom were so rude to my friends that they all stopped coming over to visit me all together unless I was at my grandmas house (the only place I feel comfortable). My mom wonders why I am gone most of the time and I tell her my reasonable thoughts and feelings on the situation of her boyfriend. She tells me I am being irrational and selfish. She also says that she does not care. This has been very stressfull in these past 3 years and I am at my breaking point. I am turning 16 in 6 moths, about the time a court date can be set. I figure by that time I will have a job and a way of transportation so I can, in hope, find my own apartment. I am staying at my grandmas almost everynight and I always loath the day that my mom makes me go home and forces me to say hello to her boyfriend. My mom also takes me places as an excuse for being a "good mom" and the "happy family" she trys to make it seem like to other people. When I do come home it is a constant punishment of my mom being ridicuously moody and having me walk on eggshells around her boyfriend, Doug. I always have to be carefull. How to walk, to make it seem like I am not upset about the situation and even how I say my words. In this house, it feels like I am still being punished from things I have done 2-3 years ago. My mom says that I have to like it or go and live my dad who is an alcoholic. I do not agree with either of the options and do not think that either is a healthy place for my growing up. I have already caught myself falling into the footsteps of my mom. I am starting to see that it is very hard for me to tell the truth, in relationships, when she makes it so easy to lie in them. I wish you luck in your situation and you are not alone when it comes to family issues.
