Would this be a good case for emancipation
Hi, Im 14 and live in Minnesota. A couple months ago I made a decision that had really bad results. My parents said they would help me trough it and they did but after it was taken care of my dad wouldn't talk to me. My dad has always been over controlling. Im not allowed to date, wear make-up, or even cut my hair except trimming it. If I get anything but an A in school he freaks out. Since he stopped talking to me, my mom has gotten him to talk to me again although when he does it is barely civil. The problem I had and the decision I made to deal with it has left me with slight depression and this newly wrecked relationship with my father has not helped. My brother is a very accomplished viiolist and my sister is extremely smart, as is my brother. I feel like my parents are always comparing me to them and don't love me as much because I have yet to find my talent and good grades do not come as easily to me as they do my siblings. The law states that people shouldn't necessarily be treated the same but fairly. In my case I am treated the same and not fairly, which I believe is not right. Also, when I was little, my brother would abuse me when my parents weren't home and they did nothing about it.
Like I said, my mom has tried to help but she has severe depression and is addicted to prescription drugs. She says that I can talk to her but she doesn't truly listen. If I say that I need to something to help me mentally feel better, she just turns things around and says that Im wrong. This is what any teenage girl would say I know but really the only person that helps me is my boyfriend. I developed anorexia because of all the stress of my parents and he is the only one who noticed and he talked me into trying to stop. Also, when I starting cutting myself, he is yet again the only one who noticed and cared enough to get me to stop. I feel like my parents, my dad especially, could care less if I died and sometimes think that this would be the best way to handle things, just to die. I have a married couple that I trust and have known for a couple years now that are helping me and have agreed to let me stay with them if I can get emancipated. They worry about my anorexia and cutting and think that this household is too hostile for me to continue living in. So I was wondering if that would take care of the qualifications of needing to have a stable job and income and housing etc.
Please, if you can offer any advice or help please let me know, I need to get out of this house, I don't like my suicidal thoughts and believe this is the only what to stop them.
