Smash Apprentice
Hello there SWF! My name is Connor, or as you all know me .CMW. I have made this thread to accept those who have troubled lives with their parents and/or guardians. I have been having trouble for a while, and though this thread isn't dedicated solely to Emancipation, it is a part, or portion of the threads name, independence. I personally have had some troubles with my parents, don't get me wrong I love my parents to death and they are in no way abusive. Physically. I live in Wisconsin and the only rules of Emancipation that apply to me are I would have to be 1. Living on my own or self sustaining, or 2. Court ordered to be emancipated. I could also go with option 3. Get a parent to sign you away, but my parents will have none of that.
I don't claim innocence however, I have had my share of experimentation, though it juts out into two branches only, Smoking and Sneaking out. I just began smoking, and I have snuck out thrice, and it wasn't to drink or party, rather to talk to friends as they got home from work. My grades are also unsatisfactory to my parents. Only my quarter grades disappoint them, I always have A's and B's by the end of the semester. I know the semester is the only thing that truly matters in the long run, but my parents don't see eye to eye on that.
I don't claim to be abused for no reason, but the reasons are small, and the yelling gets rather, intense and abusive. I get called an ******* and they tell me I should get the **** out of their house every time we fight. I have been called many names, and I'm tired of their irrational punishment. The last time I was punished was for not making my bed, two weeks of absolutely nothing. My "favorite" incident was just a few nights ago when my parents told me they would bar the doors and windows so I couldn't get out at night.
But today, It has gone over the edge. I was scolded for having C's on my quarter grades and for leaving my room a mess. They took away my school trip to Chicago, and more importantly my job. They then told me that they will not allow me to have a job, until I'm 18. They also took away my phone, my drivers license and my junior prom. I know this isn't the only thing though, messes mixed with C's combine with old messes and old quarter C's to cause all this trouble. I love my parents to death but they are hard to live with. I just want to be on my own, if allowed to have a job I could maintain said job and go to school. I also have many living arrangements available to me. I have been offered by many friends and their families to live in there home for a mere 50 dollars a month. I also have been offered a rental cottage type deal at about 100 bucks a month. I have options, and the ability to sustain myself if need be. I am simply trying to get away from stress and sheltering. I would like to achieve my short term goal of graduating high school and going to college in the University of Eau Claire. I think I am being held back, and if given opportunity I could sustain myself in a constructive manner. I have no indecent intentions for this emancipation that I so desire.
I ask of SWF to help me gain knowledge of the Emancipation process and to tell me if they think I even have a case worthy of bringing up. I would also like to know about the existence of "No higher income" grants for colleges. The one flaw in this is my parents won't let me have the money they set aside for me, I will need help to enter college.
Enough about me! This thread is about independence. Have you ever felt like your independence is being stifled or shut down? Tell us your stories, your ideas, and most importantly help each other!
.CMW. (I hope I have made a thread worth making, and have given a fine example story to kick it off!)
