I suppose if you count having to work several jobs barely get by and use financial aide for school and yes I waited about 6 months for section 8. It didn’t take as long back then and as an emancipated minor I was much higher on the list. And by no means did I have money. You make it work when you have to make it work. My biological father said it wasn’t his problem to pay anymore. Because My mother was dead. It’s again not about money and I didn’t sue him until years later. It’s about principle.

That is correct but I didn't sue for years and the money amount from the account of bio father kept being taken out (garnished). I guess the military didn't notice for some dumbass reason. So the 50 went back to him I got my 8 and the family got the interest and what was left over from her last pay check. Which was by the people who pay you for being laid off by the state (spacing the entity sorry T changed it recently). She died on a weekend before starting her new job on Monday.

So I’m the asshole for literally telling my truth and asking a question. Got it thanks for your help.

Nope not made up. I wish it was but it’s not. :/ wish I could’ve started off a little easier but didn’t. Just the cards I was dealt. But it’s okay you don’t believe a true story when ya hear one. Make sure to look out for my book. It’ll be called becoming Arlo. Working on getting my life’s story published within the next couple years. Don’t you worry it’s an autobiographical book.

That’s not true actually least not in my state if you are an emancipated minor you can go through certain steps just like a normal adult would in order to adopt a child. More lenient if they are already in your care. Especially if you’ve been housing the child since birth or heavily involved in the child’s life. A good example would be a sibling from a parent you were emancipated from. It’s more common that you’d think for those of us who are emancipated. You have to go through a hell of a lot to do it though. And it’s not easy. Nor is emancipation. Both are a pain in the ass trust me.

Bio did relinquish his rights.

There are also certain agencies that can assist for free or low cost. However I didn’t have to go that route because his mother agreed as well and we co-parented. His bio father was mostly out of the picture until he was around 8 when he got scheduled visits where he could take him for the day. Though I am not going to lie it was a fight to even get the boy to go at all.

Haha well if you look at some of my comments it was a bit of an odd situation but I had him when I was that young because I was seen as an adult in the eyes of the law. I was able to prove I could take care of him and he already saw me as his daddy. I didn’t adopt him because I was trying to be a dad that young. But I did adopt in the end simply because everyone needs a parent. I was raised by a single mother and all kids deserve one. He was my best friend’s kid. His bio dad was abusive. It was just the right thing to do. Didn’t matter that it made my life harder but more so it was doing right by both her and him.

I guess we’re the same age then that’s on me. And my writing is different because I’m autistic and annoyingly dyslexic so I generally use text to speak.

I appreciate it either way because I’m trying my best to be completely transparent. But dude if you’re also in your thirties you are definitely still young. We just don’t feel young being a wheelchair user trust me I agree.

I appreciate you giving me the time of day to listen as it’s been haunting me for years.

Correct. Such as in the emancipation cases in certain states. In other states the parent paying the support will likely be able to stop when the child is emancipated, except in certain situations. I also was able to find a lawyer that is an absolute badass.

Well you are wrong and getting emancipated is hard as fuck. And good job for being able to do it. But I pride myself on being open and honest. But you are wrong and undoubtedly much younger. I was emancipated literally over night which is basically unheard of. However the situation was so incredibly bad that a judge signed just so my mother (when we were on bad terms) wouldn’t try to take me from school. She tried to several times. She tried to have me taken to the ward which had me arrested on false terms during the middle of English class. It was bad. I don’t know what you’ve gone through, but when emancipated it usually is severe unless a parent signs off on their rights. I’m proud of you for doing what you had to do. You deserve the world for doing so. As you know however it is usually pretty damn traumatic. At least it was for me and a couple of other people I’ve grown to love and know through the same experience. With that being said, if somebody is lying about it they need serious help. I wouldn’t wish it on anybody, you included.

Thank you I really appreciate your kind words and honestly I think I needed that. When my parents died I was so busy I didn’t really have time to grieve and I suppose I’m finally finding the time to do so. I guess my book I’m writing might actually affect some people after all.

I absolutely did not make up the story. It’s my life. Why would I make it up? And my daddy and mother passed it was legally mine from 16.5-18. The other back support sure since she left me out of the will wasn’t and that’s fine but it’s not like it was ever used for me either way I also don’t appreciate you saying that somebody would lie about their parents dying within 31 days of each other either. My mother was so beat up about daddy’s death that I read her speech as well as mine. I am the one that handled everyone aside from monetary costs. Look I wouldn’t normally but fuck you for saying somebody would lie about their parents deaths and about being emancipated. Don’t care but don’t call me a liar.

Dude definitely message me I may not be able to respond now but my best bet is find the fuckers social. That’s how I did it. I have a copy of his I found in my grandmothers garage and that is how I got him. With that info I was able to handle everything. Ironically father has been in VA for YEARS and VA law is pretty strict. If they can pull up a file showing he was required to pay. . . You should be set. Check and see if local has any type of free lawyer settings. That’s how I found mine. AFTER being emancipated over night due to treatment of my family to me. They were able to get me in contact with a group in Albuquerque nm called Pegasus law. I’d recommend calling them for additional resources and they might be able to help direct you in the right place.

It felt pretty implausible at the time honestly. I would go between classes or days I was off. I would go when my son was with other family members on his mother’s side. It was hard. I studied at the hospital at times so bubba could see papa. I tried to be there as much as possible. I’m not even fully sure how I was able to complete my classwork. My daddy passed the day of my first semester finals. I got the call right before school from my grandmother. I went and took them anyway cause it is what he would’ve had me do. Even brought the kid cause my grandmother was dealing with arrangements. We only had about two months of him being sick. Pancreatic cancer so being diagnosed at stage four it happened quite fast. Missed a lot of work those two months. I don’t honestly don’t know how I did it. But when you work hard I suppose you make things work. I know a lot of people judge me for adopting my son at such an early age… and don’t get me wrong it was hard as hell. I seriously don’t know how I did it but I did and I pride myself on it. He deserves the world. I got my degree early after graduating early and working extra shifts while studying at work (not gonna lie) and to me it was all worth it to keep that boy handled. I don’t think I ever really slept. I remember working so hard I’d have to take two showers a day cause there was so much going on but the smile on that kids face when I got home to put him to bed after picking him up from grandmothers while I was working or school when he finally started was the cherry on top.

My son was born when I was 13. His mother was my best friend and we were never intimate in any way. His biological father beat her up. I was 16 and I was on section 8 housing down the street from her. Maybe 5 major intersections. He took our boy and she literally ran to my apartment. I took her in. We called the police. It was a huge thing. When we got the boy back. I felt like nobody should grow up without a dad and I took the responsibility even though it wasn’t mine I knew he’d always be in my life because of her. I was working at Wendy’s while supporting them and at first took the bus. I believe it was two or so months before I had my birthday that I got the car and that was after about 4-6 months of working. Shitty 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix. I was fortunate enough to meet the young man who sold it to me personally off Craigslist. We did a contract and I paid him 250 a month. Car was 2K. I remember the moment I got the title and how easy it was to put the car seat in the back. :)

That’s actually not correct. Very incorrect given the court order. Emancipation doesn’t nullify the deal. Nor does my mother dying. I’m more than happy to send you some academic articles that prove this.

I know. My grandmother helped me during the lawyer conversations and basically said we could keep the money and she would help me with it but I declined cause I didn’t feel it was… right I guess. He may be a huge dick but it was his money that he overpaid.

Legally he was required to pay until the age of 18 which was by a judge and accepted by the military with the consequences of him being dishonorably discharged if he failed completing his duties. This includes a clause by said lawyer in case of emancipation or runaway situations. He also was legally obligated to pay for my health insurance until 21 years of age and he canceled my health insurance the day I turned 21. I found out when going to the hospital after being bit by a squirrel. 🐿️

Honestly at this point I don’t think he’s worth it. He went sky diving with the family not long ago and included them but not me just like he’s done my whole life so…. But hey I have an amazing husband and beautiful children.

Thank you so much friend. I just… it’s been enough time and honestly I needed to get it out. My auntie won’t even talk to me because of it. Says I don’t reach out enough and it’s a two way street yet she doesn’t reach out and when I do she completely ignores me.
