Mom problems? It's getting annoying and un-motivating!

Emancipation takes a lot more than telling financial aid that your parent is not supporting you- in my state, there is a long legal process involved and it’s not clear from the facts stated above (particularly since this kid is living under the mom’s roof) that she qualifies for emancipation.

OP- you need advice from people in real life who can actually help you get stuff done (like get you a gynecologist appointment; don’t diagnose yourself with endometriosis just yet). If there is a social worker who has been involved with your family (did someone “in charge” follow up on you quitting school, or your frequent truancy?) that would be a good place to start. Is there a religious leader in your community who knows your family? That could also be a start.

I am very sad for your situation, but as much virtual hugging as I can do for you from a distance, there are likely resources in your town which will be much better suited to getting you help (and potentially helping your siblings… are they seeing a pediatrician regularly?) than some strangers on the internet.
