I'm afraid that unless your parents are abusing you, you will still be under their control in some ways. You see, becasue you are now pregnant the state looks at you as if you need more help and support so emancipation really wouldn't be a good option as far as they are concerned. I might be completely wrong though because each case is different.
A lady just called me and wants you to give her a call ASAP. Her number is 210-710-9160 She has a lot of helpful information financial and supportive. One thing I would recommend, whom ever you speak with push the issue that your boyfriend is the ONLY support system you have and that he is 100% supportive and wants to be involved in every aspect of you and the baby's life. You may even want to tell them that he will be put out of his home too if you have the baby. Perhaps that will help in getting a place for the three of you.
I'm so sorry you are going through this. I was in a similar situation however I was 25 when I got pregnant the first time. My mother is a devot Christian and didn't want the embarrassment of her church and co workers. She made some of the most hurtful comments. She even called my unborn son a bastered. She made my pregnancy a living hell. But don't you know it she is crazy about my son now. He can do no wrong and she loves him to death. I'm sure your parents will come around as well. But, it will be awhile.
I think once you are given a place to stay and all the help you need they will try to implement a positive relationship between you and your family so that they can also be your support system. Thats why I'm leaning towards thinking they will not free you from your parents control.
I'm so sorry I'm so far away. I wish I could give you the biggest hug and tell you everything will be ok. Because it will. Yes, it's going to be a tough road but you can do it.
A very good friend of mine was in your exact situation. Once the baby was born her parents hearts soften and they loved her baby girl with all their hearts. The girl I'm speaking of was 15 when she had the baby and is now 22 married to her daughters father. They actually just moved to Texas and are doing great! Good jobs, beautiful home and two beautiful children. I can totally see that for you.
