    How to get emancipated with my situation.
    Okay well I'm 15, turning 16 in July. And I have been living with my aunt for the past few months. I do not live with either my mother or my father. Me and my mom do not get along in no kind of means. She is an alcoholic and when she gets drunk she takes it ALL out on me, saying I am the reason of her problems. When she drinks she does not only get emotionally abusive but physically as well. And as a 15 year old, it too much for me to bear. My parents got divorced when I was only 6 months old. So in my eyes they have never been together. And when they got divorced the judge announced my mom as the domacoratorial parent (or however you spell that word). Basically she has the right or say so over me. For my sweet sixteen I would like no presents from my family but only this one wish, to be released from their custody and to be able to start a new life by self. Without all the memories of alcoholism and the abuse that came with it. I'm not quite sure what the laws are of this in Louisiana. And just wondering, does it help the fact that I have been living with my aunt for the past few month? Someone please help me with this.

    First, I believe it is courageous of you to talk about your issues, especially at your age. Alcoholism is a horrible disease that destroys families. I would like to suggest if you're interested... an AlaTeen group where others like yourself are going through the same things. I believe the decision of emancipation is a decision that cannot be taken lightly. AlaTeen can help. Look information up under the Alanon Groups
