Okay I have a friend who is sixteen and his mother is an alcoholic/ drug addict. His father is deceased and he has no where to go. He is employed and works toward his high school diploma at night after work... Is it possible for him to be able to live on his own? He also gets a check every month for his dad being deceased that his mom uses to buy drugs with as well as stealing money from his wallet...
 
His mother has also been to rehab 7 times and been to 2 mental health places like north harbor. She has had 3 DUI's and currently doesnt have a license bc of a DUI.
 
Yes, she was arrested around late june and she was charged with DUI, Open Container, assalting an officer, and resiting arrest.Only one rehab was court order, but most places keep a recorder of their patients past and present. He was taken away around dec, but they allowed him to go back with herin Feb and they closed the case in may. He lied because he has no where to go except foster care and told the worker that things were better. Then later this june she was arrested.

so living with an alcoholic drug addict was better option than foster care?!:eek:
 
In foster care you dont always get the parents you need either. I guess he was hoping she would have cleaned up by now with her being his last living parent.
 
Well he is a male and all males never want anyone to see them when they are at their weakest moments. When his mom tries to beat him or touch him he doesnt want to hit her back because she will lie and say he just beat her bc he was mad not self defense. Although now people are starting to see the real truth of what is really going on in their home..

If he won't involve the authorities, he's stuck.

He won't be emancipated unless he has a proven record of being self-supporting.

That means paying his own rent, utilities, food, car payment, gas, medical care, insurance....all while keeping good grades in school.

If he's actually already dropped out of school - you mentioned he was working at night on his high school diploma - he can forget even thinking about emancipation.

WOW!
The lad's mother has a troubled past.
Her educational achievements are not stellar, or even average.

I'm sorry his dad has passed away.
Does the dear youth have paternal or maternal grandparents?
When will this poor kid become 18?

Now, if you (or the young lad) were asked in a court of law to prove these despicable charges, could you?
Where would you get the proof?
Be forewarned, generally our society doesn't hold drug addicts or alcoholics responsible for what they do.
Many people feel that drug addicts, alcoholics, child molesters, rapists, and even terrorists are worthy of two, three, four or more chances.
It seems society wants to rehabilitate these individuals.

Okay.
Tell me about you.
I see you mention you are his girlfriend.
How old are you?
What schooling have you achieved?
Are you employed?
Do you earn a living?
How do occupy the majority of your time?
Do you reside at home with your parents?
What are your plans for the future, or just tomorrow?
Do you plan to live with the young lad, if he were to be emancipated?
Are you engaged?
Have you had any children?

Darn, I sound like a dad, don't I?
Well, I'm a dad, a grandfather, and a great-grandfather.
I was also once 16 years old, and have raised a few 16 year old boys and girls.

Okay, you now, if you plesae, ma'am!

neither one of you had ANY business snooping around in mom's purse:no::mad: no judge is going to emancipate him so he can live with his gf and her family, so you can forget that right now. he will either go to another family member or foster care if hes removed from mom's custody, not your family.he is not their child and they have no legal standing to get custody. no judge will give them custody of their daughter's bf anyway.
