15 Year old seeking emancipation help in Pennsylvania.
I'm 15, and wont be 16 for another few months. There are many reasons why i am looking for emancipation as a solution for my situation at this moment. I have a steady job, and the support of my father. I've been Homeschooled the entirety of my life, and i feel unsafe mentally, and physically around my mother. She is a irrational religious being, that i cannot reason with. I'm a homosexual female, and this is only a small reason behind why i feel i need to leave my household. If i were to reveal to my mom about my sexuality, or if she were to find out by accident, i fear the outcome. She emotionally abuses me, so it makes it difficult to seek help through CYF. She rarely physically attacks me, but it does happen. When frustrated with me she uses my education against me ( because i am homeschooled) she will refuse to teach me or put me in school. I try my best to reason with her logically to resolve our disputes, but she is irrational and it fails. I believe she suffers from a severe mental issue, but she wont seek help to resolve that either. I'm not allowed to ever leave the house, or to interact socially with my peers. I hate to complain about that, but it really does affect my mental well being to be stuck in a house with a woman who blatantly tells me she hates me. I feel like i am suffering from circumstantial depression, and when i try to tell her i am unhappy, her solution is that it's my fault, and to cast my problems on the lord or else i will be miserable forever, and end up in hell for having bad character. I have a living situation set up if i were able to legally leave my home, and like i said, i have a well paying and steady job. I don't feel like i should have to wait another three years to be happy, or to be myself. I support myself financially already, i buy my own food, clothing, etc. She doesn't support me in a motherly manner other than her over the top disciplinary measures, and emotionally devastating lectures. Everyday is a struggle, and i consider every moment of the day to just leave anyway and be on the run the rest of my life. But first i would like to try to resolve this legally before such a drastic measure. I am not even in charge of my own body, merely because i am of a certain age group. I hate being trapped only because i am a minor, and i cant control anything about my life.
Thank you for reading such a long post.
