Emancipation in California

[LaceyLoo17]

I'm 17 years old..I quit school so i can work 2 jobs one full time one part time. I live with my mom however i pay rent $700 a month. I feel like since i make more money than her she is taking advantage of me financially...part of the benefit of living with your parents is it is supposed to be rent free. I have had a job always since i was 14 years old..I can support myself very well on my own. I lived with out her for 6 months. Then i decided to move to Mammoth Lakes to be with her because she missed me and she made me fell bad about not being here...she cried everytime i'd talk to her on the phone. She said i did not have to pay a penny..she would take care of me as she should. Now i work my ass off..i get no credit for it..i have no say in my own life even though i do pay rent..i can make decisions for myself..she keeps me cooped up in the house all the time like a reclus...she never let's me go out with people from work or do anything..it's like she wants me in a cage all my life. She has been doing this since i was 14 financially draining me...making her car payment with my money putting the power bill in my name etc..i am fed up and i want to be emancipated i am sick and tired of being taken advantage of. ops: My question is can i become emancipated since i am no longer in school or have a GED..and is this a strong enough argument for the judge to decide in my favor.
