If your situation is similiar, then by all means make an appointment with one of the higher ups in your school's financial aid department to discuss it. I had to supply letters from family friends and my landlord that I was "on my own" but they were able to grant independant status to me.
**And I just wanted to add that I was not physcially abused by mother or father and neither of them had criminal records.**
