If one parent consents the the emancipation of a minor child and the other does not can the minor child still become emancipated?

This is my situation …. any other advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am about to turn 16 on July 21. I have been bounced around between my mother, father and other friends and relatives for as long as I can remember. My father does not want me never has and my mother has been in and out of drug rehabilitation for several years. I mostly lived with my father but he put me off on friends every chance he got. When I was 11 years of age my mother got joint custody of me in my parents divorce. My mother and her boyfriend (now my stepfather) got full custody of me a short time later. He is very controlling and abusive and drinks all the time not as much as he used to but I hate it and just want to get away. He used to beat me until I got too old and started to fight back then he started going after me emotional
ly/mentally instead and I’m sick of it. He constantly makes me feel like crap and says I’m worthless and calls me all sorts of derogatory terms on a regular basis. My mother does nothing about it. He is very controlling over both of us. I do not want to be there anymore. I talked my mother into letting me stay the summer in Arizona with my uncle and his family and they do not plan on letting me go back. They want to try to get parental rights over me which I know is going to be a huge fight between my mom and uncle and I want to get emancipated so i can go back to Oregon and live with two of my friends who are getting an apartment together. I do not particularly care for AZ and want to go home to Or. I recently just got back in contact with my father on facebook and I’m wondering do I need his consent to get emancipated seeing as he has not been involved in my life at all the past four years and if I can get his consent and my mother refuses can I still get emancipated? I do not really want to take everything to court and make light of the whole situation I have been trying to hide the abuse for a number of years now and am afraid of my stepfather and just want to make a clean get a way from the whole situation and I have a baby half sister who has cancer to think about I do not want her to get taken away because I know my mother would never forgive me also I do not want to put her through the same thing I went through having to be bounced around from home to home. What do I do? Any advice would be helpful. Thank you.
