i am 16 and living in wisconsin. im not sure if emancipation is what i need, but i cannot live with either of my parents anymore. my parents are divorced and have been for almost around 4 years now. i used to live with my mother up until i was 13 but than my father got full custody of me when she tried to kill herself and ended up having to stay in multiple mental hospitals for over a period of months. i have now been living with my father for over 3 years and it has been going well up until october of 2008, last year when he ended up in a mental hospital and stayed there for around 2 weeks. since than i have had to manage many things for me and my dad such as making sure bills are paid, sometimes even paying for them, paying for the gas in the car my dad drives, and other expenses. he did not get bacc to work until last week, but im not even sure if it is permanent yet. help me i need to get out of this situation badly but i dont know how. my boyfriends mom and dad have been there for me through the thick and thin. they have offered many times to take me in if needed, the only problem is that they live in ohio, and my dad will not give consent to this because he says he will get locked up for letting me move there. what should i do? where should i go? everyday is so hard to face. please give me some opinions.

I don't the laws of your country, but suggest you contact your boyfriend's mum and dad and ask their advice. I am sure things will work for the better if you can wait until you're 18. I realise this may be impossible for you, but your running away could be a Federal offence, and I am just saying this lest you're considering it.

Your boyfriend's mum and dad will I'm sure, get working on some way you can go see them. It's really great that they get along with you. And, you must have a fantastic boyfriend who cares deeply for you.

Maybe you just need to straighten out your priorities?

Stick it out. I thought I needed an emancipation. But as soon as I decided that I wouldn't win my mom stopped paying attention to my drug use.

We've been friends since.


ive brought the idea of moving in with my boyfriends mom and dad a few times and things still havent changed.

Get amancipated then move into you boyfrinds parents home.

im not sure if emancipation is right because the things that i have read about emancipation so far deal with being able to support yourself, proving you have your own insurance and other things of the such. which doesnt sound like what i need, because i dont want to live alone somewhere, i just want a different legal guardian.

Do you have any other family that could help?? auntys/uncles.

the only family i have in town is my mom and dad, and my grandma, but she wouldnt be of any help because she lives in an assisted living center. the rest of my family live in other states
