Hi I want to try to be emancipated, and I want to know if this is a good reason to. After being taken out of a bad situation, I now live with my grandmother. I decided it would be best not to act until six physical months had passed. It seems, to me, being away from the people who helped through a tough time isn’t good for me. My depression is getting worse being here. Back in Denver I have friends and close family members who I can turn to. Here, my grades are dropping, and I can’t get out of bed much anymore. Counseling won’t help me because I talk to someone who is like a counsler to me, she’s just not here. I created my own little family back in Denver, and I would like to go back to them. I know I can live by myself, I can take care of myself with enough reason to. Most people wouldn’t see the logic here but I do. By trying to be emancipated, It will have good impact on my mental health.
