[nj] - I Am A Minor And My Father Raped Me A Few Times Years Ago, How Can I Get Away From Him?

I (16F) am a minor who is in the legal custody of my parents. Recently, I made the decision to talk to a trusted adult about how my father, raped me on I think 3 separate occasions (I’m still having a hard time trying to remember) about 5 or 6 years ago. The said trusted adult, called CPS and they have opened a case about it. They have also put in a safety plan for me that states that I cannot be alone with my father without my mother present. While this is helpful, the problem is that my mother is not very happy about the arrangement, and, I don’t know for sure because I haven’t asked directly, but I don’t think she believes me and I’m scared to ask. In addition to that there is no way to prove that it happened in a court of law. I wanted to know what my options are legally because my parents threatening to send me to a boarding school, and while that may not be the worst solution, I have a life in NJ with people I love and trust, as well as somewhat of a start in a career as a musician and I don’t know if leaving it behind is the best option. I know I will probably have to make some sacrifices but I think that might be too great for me to live with. I have been researching emancipation but I know that in order to be granted emancipation, you have to prove that you can take care of yourself financially, physically, and mentally. Although I don’t have a job currently, it wouldn’t be that difficult for me to get one as I have been offered multiple opportunities recently and I do already have gigs that pay at various venues and events. However, I do not think a judge would grant me emancipation regardless because I have mental health problems that affect my wellbeing. I take multiple different expensive medications and another big factor I know they take into account is performance in school, which for me, has not been great considering I have been doing home instruction due for multiple different reasons related to my mental health. That lead me to research guardianship, which, to my understanding transfers the day-to-day care of a ward to another adult. I was wondering if this could be a good potential solution since I can’t be alone in my father’s care. I would obviously have to find an adult to agree to take on that responsibility which is one of the harder parts, but if I was, do you think guardianship would be a viable option?
edit: I posted this to r/AskALawyer and had a moderator remove it, telling me to just call CPS, but the point is that CPS IS aware of the situation, I am seeking guidance for the next steps I should take independently from what they have already put in place.
