15 & emancipated?

[Guest]

I was adopted at age 7, my parents gave up their rights, so my aunt and uncle took me in for 7 years . my dad is an alcoholic, and my mom is a drug abuser . my mom and dad are split up , and both remarried . i was having issues at my aunt and uncles house , i was being defiant and disruptive . many law inforcement took action .i decided to get in contact with my real dad , and see if he could adopt me back . as the process literally took a week , many people think it was illegal . The judge who signed to have their rights terminated gave them back in a week? Sounds a little funky and she really didnt like them at all . So , on to the point , being here with my dad isnt how i thought itd be. He is still drinking , and there is just alot of problems , what action or steps can i take to have myself put back with my aunt and uncle ( who is willing to take me back) My dad and i has a discussion about me being emancipated , and he was fine with that . Overall he doesnt care, and i think im better off somewhere else .
