I want to go live with my mom. Currently I live with my dad and step-mom, but I want to move out. I don't want to cut off contact with them, because I do love them, but I want to live with my mom. How do I tell my parents this? I've never been good at talking about my feelings, and I don't want to hurt anyone. But I don't really think I owe it to them to stay, or do I? I know my mom will be happy, and I know this will make me happy, but what if it damages our relationship too much? And is it worth it? I'm sixteen and a few months, so it'll be less than two years of living with my mom. I just need to know how to tell everyone.

Pursuing an autism diagnosis
I need help. Recently, I've had a lot of people in my life tell me to pursue an official autism diagnosis to get help from my college's disabled student program...
I'm seventeen and I've just gone through something like you. I'll be honest, you'll hurt your dad a lot but if he cares about you he'll understand. The divorce was not your choice so therefore you owe yourself to nobody. If you'll be happier with your mom, be with your mom. It's better to have done and accept the outcome than to live with the knowledge that you'll never know what could have been. There are always ways to stay in touch with your father and step-mom so don't let that be a hindrance to what you want. I can't tell you how to tell your family but just stay calm and let them know you love them.
ReplyThank you. I'm feeling a little bit less nervous now.
