Re: i would like to be amancipated/adopted by a different family.

You need to resubmit your question and include your age. To be emancipated you would have to have a way to support yourself and and be close to 18 years old. As for being adopted your parents would have to consent to that and that would appear to unlikely. Having this lady appointed as your gurardian will be a lengthy process. If you really as abused as you say talk to a school counselor about your situation. The school counsleor must report suspected chidl abuse. In some counties being alcoholics is sufficient for CPS to find child abuse.
