ANSWER:
You do not need, nor do you qualify for, emancipation. (You have to be at least 16 for emancipation under Oregon law). What you need is PROTECTION. Protection from your emotionaly and physically abusive mom.
Call Child Protective Services in Euguene. The number is 541.686.7555. They will give you the help you need.
