Anyway... I have a bunk bed in my room where I sleep and my son sleeps in his bed, my sister sleeps in the top bunk at night but its not really her room. So tonight, since I've been up since 7 and I want some sleep, I tried to go to bed at 10:40. My parents and little sister are already in bed. I grab the remote for the TV from under my sister's pillow, and she wakes up and freaks out (I honestly think she's a little crazy.) See, I like to use the TV as a light in the middle of the night for when my son wakes up. My little sister flipped because I guess it's now HER tv and HER remote. Of course, being overly exhausted, I started arguing a little bit, and my mom comes storming into our room. She's mad as hell, and I'm not sure what she was trying to do, but she grabs the dresser that the tv is sitting on and pushes it away from the wall, hard... Down goes the TV, crashing to the floor. A fire almost started because the wires snapped. My little sister is screaming, my mom is screaming, and who's fault is it? Mine. For a half hour after my parents are fighting, and while my dad is trying to defend me, my mom is convinced that I was beating on my sister to try and take the tv from her (even though she was sleeping...?)
This is a daily thing to me. Since I'm the teenage mother in the family, I'm also a screw up, and the majority of fights that start are "my fault.". I can't take it anymore. This isn't a safe place for my son. I'm sick of it! I need to get out of here, but I know if I left my parents would call anyone they could think of to get me back home, and what if it worked?
I love my parents, but I can't live here anymore. My BF and his family would gladly welcome me there, but there's no way my parents would agree to let me leave. I really don't know what else to do except vent.
I am a 16 year old, disposable diapering, formula feeding, pro-life, Christian and first time proud mommy to my darling son.

From reading your other posts I'd say your parents are whacko and you should really look into moving somewhere safer and happier for both you and your son's sake. I hope you figure something out soon so you don't have to put up with this insanity for much longer. Trying speaking to another lawyer to get another opinion about the situation. You can even try talking to the police to see what their policy is for such situations, just in case your parents were to call them if you left.
If you're under 18, your parents can report you as a runaway. The cops will pick you up, and take you back to the house. I know for a FACT a judge will put you back in that house, though the police don't have as much of a choice. They have to follow the law, not interpret is as much as a judge does. I know in CA you can get an emergency hearing in 3 days. Emanciipation in CA means you have to prove a source of income for yourself and your child, be stable, and in school to finish your diploma/GED. Nowadays, go for your diploma if at all possible. Not even the military is accepting a GED as the same like the law says. Personally, I would get the heck out, and deal with the runaway and parents later. That's not safe for my child and my child comes first. End of story. I also know in CA that you can get out of a lease if the situation is unsafe. At least I know friends that have done that in the past. Good luck to you! And do what's right for you and your son.
Wow sounds like your mom and your sister are freaking nuts... especially your mom! You need to get out of there asap, any way you can! That is not a good or safe environment for you and your baby
