"Pet Angel Fund for Spaying Gizzy et al"

I still think what I thought long ago... get rid of mom and take care of the pets. Children can file for emancipation you know.

I'm sure the drive over there only to find out that they don't offer it anymore just pissed off mom more. Should have called first to be certain.

Bri, seriously, is there any other family member(s) that you could go to and live with? I'm not kidding. This mother of yours is just not doing you or her other responsibilities justice.

What's emancipation?

Yeah, and then I got yelled at most of the way home.

Um, there's my dad. But the animals would be in even worse shape there. And I can't just leave my mom. I'm all she has. :/

If you're all mom has, then maybe she needs to be reminded of that... she's not doing you any favors with her behavior. Even adults need nudging.

Emancipation... think of the slaves being freed. They were emancipated. When a child files for emancipation, it means that they are filing for a "divorce" from the parent and are committed to living on their own and supporting themselves. It's an actual legal deal through the courts and all.

Well, she loves me. Just not my cats.

Oh, seriously? Um.. I'm only 14.8 I think I'm too young to do that.

[jennielynn1970]

Not really. You're almost 15, and there are others out there who were on their own earlier... but that's not the point.

What does emancipation mean?
"Emancipation of a minor” generally refers to the process of freeing a minor (person under age 18) from parental control. It means that the parent is no longer legally responsible for the acts of the child. It can allow the child to set up his/her own living arrangement. The term may also refer to freeing the earnings/income of a child from the control of a parent.

This is actually a really good site for answers...

Rehoming is something I won't do. That's probably selfish of me to say, but at least where they are now they have me. And me is doing all I can for them at the moment. And I've already said this. And IMO, I'm being more mature than some of the adults on PT who are using caps and yelling at me. But that's just my opinion.

Jenn Well, still. I can't leave my mom. Many reasons for that.

It doesn't seem that you are doing all you can for them. Rehoming them is an option. It seems like you're just being stubborn and not considering that it could actually be the best thing for them.

You don't even know the half of it.
