Getting Emancipated

[Not My Own]

My parents have big problems. They hate me and my brother. The only one that gets showered with love is our youngest brother because he's mentally retarded. I love my brothers to death and I don't hate my little brother just because he gets attention. My oldest brother I love very much because he tries to stop my parents from hitting me. It's really sad when he gets really mad because he always runs away for days. My mom does the same thing and is trying to get out of the marriage without anyone knowing because it'd ruin her reputation. That's the only thing my mom lives for. Her friends. I really would like to get out of this house. My oldest could get us an apartment and stuff but then some of my friends are going to let us stay there as long as we pay for our share of food and decorations. I know I just pretty much gave you my sad story. And I know you guys don't know me and I feel bad to burden you guys with it but I need it out. My friends just know that my parents don't like me doing anything. This summer I went to a park, a mall, and a movie. That's it. They hate who I am because I want to wear band t-shirts and stuff. It's not inapropriate it's just ruins their reputation. I really need this emancipation. I really do. If anyone could help me I'd appreciate it. I'm just wanting to be free. If I may ask a question, someone told me that if the parents don't like what you want to do for a career it might help to woo the jury. I just want to know if my parents don't like my career if it can help in any way. Sorry for being such a burden. I just hate living here.
