Depressed At Home And Want Emancipation

[Kingpain4]

acording to a police officer i need to do something with my state

in which case i have a lawyer come in and talk to my family and seeing if their agreeing to sign an emancipation

if not i have a court hearing where they look at both my actions and how my house hold is

and if the judge doesn't feel i should be emancipation then he/or she will have the state send some one in the house hold to help me and my family

i hvae also looked this up on google and it said the same as the officer

but i can't find where to go to have the state send me a lawyer

the police officer didn't know where to go

(noah)

(i know what needs to be done and how to do it

but where may i find the material to do so

and god sent down all the materials needed to build his ark)

unfortunately i don't have god sending me the paper work or i would be here asking for help not people opinion on my life

my life completely sucks... im suppost to be in school i go to the learning center which is online classes im only allowed to go for 3 or 4 hours n expected to graduate in 2010

im home all day..i have 2 sisters 1 brother..

im the one who wakes up to get them ready 4 school im the one who cooks n cleans...and i dont get a simple thank you for it...(when she dont even work not at all no part-time job or nothing)

me n my mom argue over the littlest thing and sometimes this arguments aren't just verbal they get physical most the time i cant even go to school cause of how bad my face has marks...

ive ranaway twice and i always come back with a promise that "everything will change"...nothing ever changes

she recently got married and my new step dads really nice but he works all day and when he dont im the one doing bad..she always comes up with something to say...that i did wrong....

i want to get emancipated but dont know if i would be able to do that because of how ive ran away and even if i could past that...she wouldnt sign no paper..shed come up with the simply idea that i just want to go be a #*3...

i dont know when things go so bad i can rember when me and her use to talk all the time and arguing was never happening sounds cheesy but we use to have the perfect little family now i have to take depression pills every 3 hours (my perfect little family disappeared)...

know i have one of my sisters and my brother who want to go live with there dad there not my blood brother n sister but i love them and they deserve better...

so my simple question is"Do you leave your mom when shes the one that gave you life and you love her past everything even thew all the abuse? or Do you stay and keep having your life and dreams crushed more every day?"...."What would you do".....

p.s- Don't feel sorry...Your not living it the nightmare..
