I would talk to someone about the abuse within your household. Perhaps you can talk to a school counselor or a pastor. Call down to your local city hall and ask a clerk if that would be possible. But know that you will need someplace to live if you do.
Depends on how traumatic the emotional abuse is.
a teacher does not have to take any abuse of any kind from any parent. The teacher can call the principal and let the principal deal with the situation.
No you don't and if you custodial parent is making you, then you can bring it up with the court and they will put a stop to it.
With the above set of circumstances - you will be given the opportunity to plead your case for custody before a judge.
I think you mean a DV restraining order: It is a domestic violence restraining order. It is a court order that can help protect people from abuse.
Only if the court approves. However, restraining orders are issued for current and provable abuse not on past problemsand "questions" of drug use. The mother should visit the court and speak with an advocate.
Step-parent abuse can stem from a variety of factors, including unresolved personal issues, feelings of resentment or jealousy towards the stepchild, or the pressure of blending families. In some cases, the step-parent may struggle with their role and lack the emotional tools to manage relationships effectively. Additionally, external stressors such as financial strain or conflict with the biological parent can exacerbate negative behaviors. Ultimately, abuse is a complex issue often rooted in a combination of psychological, emotional, and situational factors.
Generally no. However, in cases of the emotional abuse of a child, the authorities might remove the child from that home.
Abuse
the victim or the abuser? emotional abuse cuts deeper than physical abuse. it has to do with manipulation. though emotional abuse and physical abuse ususally go hand in hand.
Not on a general basis, but if one partner wants to get a divorce from the other they can use 'emotional abuse' as a way to get that divorce. If one is emotionally abused, it is just as bad as being physically abused (you just can't see the scars) and the victim should leave their abuser.
They can be removed from the home by social services. The courts can then remove the parental rights if it is in the best interests of the child. Emancipation is an option in some states.
