I live in GA. Ive been dating this guy for a year and a half. Hes 3 years and 6 months older than me. My parents knew we have been dating and up until recently have been very cool about it. My parents are habitual drunks. My father is and has always been very mentally and rarely but still phsyically abuse to me, my sister and my mother. They drink late into the night all the time. My boyfriend goes to a local university and has an apartment there. I'm 15 now but will turn 16 in may. After my mother heard my phone conversation march 7th with him about my wanting to get emancipated she flipped out and told my dad. Now we have been banned and my dad threatens him with police and has threatened to kill him. He hasnt made very specific to what he says he'll do, but my father isnt a very smart man and neither is my mother. They have bother been together since he was 16 and she was 13. I've been in a very bad house my whole life. My father never was there when i was younger and i love my boyfriend so much. Hes done nothing but love and show support for me since ive met him. He works very hard at college and wants to make somthing of himself. I want so badly to be able to date him longer in hopes of a more beatiful relationship. When i turn 16 in May will it be legal for my father to still press charges against him? I realize that he has disgression over me seeing him, but if they wanted to after i turn 16 could he still try and get my boyfriend in serious trouble?i can do? He has been violently drunk my whole life. I have been a witness to my mom being chocked and slammed into a coffee tab and one night 4 months ago he got mad at me shocked me into a full blown panic attack and then threw me very hard into the washer and dryer, and told me i disgueted him. Do i have any chance in doing so? I think i would have enough on my father and mother to proove in a court case that i shoudnt be living with them. But of coarse i am very scared that if i do start this custody battle that the state themselves or my parents could immidatly press charges when they find out about us. When i first met him i was 14 and 3 months and he was 17 and 10 months. What should i do?

Edit/Delete Message Miss Dooley? Hello there, how are you doing? I was just reading over your post and i thought to warn you that there are grown women that read these post,and give advice to people in need of it... such as yourself. The advice you may recieve might not be what you want to hear, but trust me, it will be what you need. When i was your boyfriends age, there was a girl two years younger than I. She had a mad crush on me. As a matter of fact, it was my best friends little sister! Yes she was pretty, smart and very shapely.....BUT SHE WAS TOO YOUNG!!!!! To be perfectly honest, i would have had to be a selfish,dirty minded,sneaky,lowdown, no good for nothing sex offender to get involved with a minor! Oh how i wished that i was under 19 at that time. Yes, it is natural to feel for someone, to want to be with someone. We cant always control falling in LOVE, but when someone of age begin to want someone under age, that's when the older should act responsible towards the younger and move on. Your father isn't the only man wanting to harm " TOO OLD FOR MY DAUGHTER" guys. Think about it! What would you do if it was your baby girl? Anyway, The LAW and the women on this site will both advise you to wait until you're 18. In addition to that, if this guy loves you(?????) The best way he can prove it is to WAIT also!!!!! PS... That is if he wants to avoid JAIL !!!!!!!

Well is your home really abusive? If it is, see about living with a relative or family but your parents are right about you not seeing this young man if it is going to lead to sex before you turn age 18. Whatever your parents' flaws, they are right on that and most courts would back them up on that and deny you emancipation on the grounds you are talking about.

By both the Ga laws your Mom was a minor therefore Daddy can be charged
with statutory Rape.

The legal AOC at that time was 14. It is 16 now so as of May your legal.
I'd simply inform the parents of this & if they want to make an issue of it
then you will nbe the first to call the cops. As to the abuse in the home.
Simply call the police the next time he gets violent. Most states REQUIRE
the cops to arrest the abuser reguardless if the victim not wanting to press
charges. Then YOU request a no contact restraining order. Now Mom has a
Choice. State as long as I'm living here Dad can never come back.

I'm sure she can figure that one out & kick you out of the house for as
long as you have the restraining order.

you may want to conferm that with an Atty. first.

Oh, I’ve seen them, and he truly doesn’t have a clue.

OP, if you follow this person’s advice it will not work (to begin with, trying looking up the term 'statute of limitations' ) and I’d venture to say that it will only make things worse.
