Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana

Hey there. I'm a sixteen year old girl living in Indiana. I'm currently on probation for truancy due to phychological reasons, being that I'm bipolar, have panic anxiety, as well as PTS. I'm constantly verbally and ocassionally physically abused by my mother. And verbally by my step father as well. And I can't go to my biological father's because he's even worse. I'm terrified to even be living in my house. Is there any way I can be emancipated? And if not, is it possible for me to live with my friend's family in Alabama who are willing to take me in? I'm planning on getting my GED in May, which will cause my probation to end. So.. In the meantime, should I talk to my probation officer about this? I've tried talking to therapists and they don't do anything. I'm just afraid people won't believe me because my mom lies about it and puts on a show, so to speak. So.. What should I do?

It would not hurt to discuss this with your probation officer.
