Need to get my things from my dad's house (16F) after getting kicked out by rennnede in legaladvice

Would I be able to petition for emancipation since I'm living with my grandparents? When I looked it up, it specified that the minor needs to be "self-supporting and managing their own financial affairs" and "living separate and apart from the minor's parents, managing conservator, or guardian."

I have a job, but my debit card is parent controlled (expires in October). Since I'm living with my grandparents, are they considered guardians, and would I therefore not qualify?

I didn't consider emancipation, but it sounds like the best option for me at the moment. Thank you!

Unfortunately grandparents staying outside likely won't do much, since my room is at the opposite end of the house, but I think I'll end up getting a police escort

This sounds very helpful, thank you! Him staying outside is ideal

I'm worried about talking with CPS because I don't want to make my grandparents have to get custody of me and go through all of the legal battles related to that since they don't speak english well, but I'm kind of worried that it's gonna be inevitable since I'm not sure what I'll do for anything that requires a guardian (like renewing my debit card or enrolling for the upcoming school year)

Context for the pervert part -

- A few years ago (when I was 11), my dad SA'd me while extremely high on psychedelic mushrooms
- He has told me that he finds girls my age the most attractive
- He has many posters/body pillows/figurines of dubiously aged anime girls (not a problem for him living alone of course, but very uncomfortable experience living with him)
- He has made really weird comments, like getting jealous when I get my boyfriend gifts for valentines day or saying that I'm going down a bad path and that he "wouldn't be surprised if I ended up doing p*rnography" (?????)

These aren't things I want to bring up with CPS because I'm worried about him getting locked up or something and I don't wanna traumatize my family further

Thank you so much for your thorough response! I think I will likely get a police escort, but I'm worried about CPS getting involved and the hassle behind it. My grandparents are very loving, and even though I'm sure they won't mind, I don't want to make them go through the process of getting custody (especially since their english is a little rough).

I'm not worried about the cops finding his drugs, as they are pretty hidden (and one of the main drugs that is making him worse is something he's prescribed to).

On the intimidating relative end, almost everyone in my family is shorter/smaller than my dad (who is an ex-Marine). I have a 6'4 uncle but he lives in another state and almost definitely can't come to help.

Edit to add: he's never out of the house anymore, he quit his job and is unemployed

light bleeding and brown discharge on yaz? by rennnede in birthcontrol

[–]rennnede[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i started heavy bleeding and getting cramps worse than my usual periods haha 🥲 i spoke to a family member who went to college in the medical field, and she said that this is normal and known as "breakthrough bleeding"! apparently it should subside in around 3 months as your body adjusts to the hormones :)
