    Default Emancipation in Tennessee

    My father abuses me physically and emotionally and I think he may have sexually when I was younger. The only reason I'm not sure about this is I hardly remember my childhood and I can't have men touch me now... but I haven't told anyone that. My mother was going to leave him so I waited and endured him while she stalled for six months. Today she told me she would not leave him. I wish I did not have to do this, I would prefer to be in my school and attend the college I was looking at, but my mental and physical health is more important to me. I am in Tennessee and I'm not sure if emancipation is even allowed in my state, but if anyone knows about that or knows some way I can get out, please tell me. Going to the police is not an option. My father is a powerful man and I can't take legal action. I am 17 and won't be 18 for almost a year so just waiting isn't an option either. Please help me. I'm to the point of doing drugs or becoming an alcoholic just so I can go to rehab until I'm 18. I don't want that to become my life.

    Default Tennesee Emancipation Law

    Tennessee does not have an emancipation statute. Perhaps you should discuss your options with a guidance counselor at school.
