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.
