What are the requirements to become emancipated?

Full question:

I'm sixteen years old, seventeen on April 7th. I live with my two younger siblings, my overly stressed mother, and my alcoholic father. I've been struggling with growing depression for about six years. I've been thinking about becoming emancipated for a while now, and I'm even looking into places to live. Do you believe I will get my wish for emancipation granted? I have a steady job at Disney, and I'm dual enrolled with my school to become a Medical Administrative Specialist by the time I graduate.

FAQs

Children of alcoholics often fall into four types: the Hero, who tries to be perfect to gain approval; the Scapegoat, who acts out and draws attention away from the family issues; the Lost Child, who withdraws and avoids conflict; and the Mascot, who uses humor to lighten the situation. Each role serves as a coping mechanism for dealing with the chaos caused by a parent's alcoholism.
