I want to live with my mom. She has had drug abuse in her past but has been clean for about 6-7 years. My dad refuses to let me leave, i'm miserable here with him. He is always drinking and is never home, with my mom i'm actually thought of and part of thing. Living with my dad makes me depressed and I never want to be home because of him and my step mom & her kids. My mom has two stable jobs and even has time for me when I see her, my dad works one job and still is never home or see's me. I've asked my dad and told him that I want to live with my mom several times in the past two years, he still refuses.

I would like to like to move back with my mom. Im 17 years pld and about a year ago because of grades my dad pretty much made me stay with him and got full custody of me. For a while i was traveling with him for his job and doing online school, which involved staying in a hotel or rv all day while he was working. I, am currently living in his house in alabama with my stepmom and he is gone a lot of the time for his job. I am very close to finishing my junior year on online school with all a’s and b’s. I want to move back to my moms house where i have friends and do my senior year of school there. I want to move back because My dad is gone all the time, i have no friends here, and im just overall unhappy. My dad tells me that moving back is not an option and that im going to have to live with him. What can i do to move back to my moms

I am 14 and live with my mom, she is very loving and kind but I am starting to have feelings that I should go live with my dad. 1.) because I need a fresh breath of air / change of scenery I’ve lived with my mom for years and want a new experience 2.) I want a fresh start at a new school, (living with my dad would allow that) 3.) I can spend more time with my little brother and sister. But I love my mom and I don’t know how to tell her I want to live with my dad without hurting her feelings.

**Guest** · 02-19-2018, 08:22 PM

I've been living with my mom for almost 6 years now. I just turned 14 yesterday. Since I'll be in high school next year I really want to live with my dad. But of course my mom's always making reason;s as to why I shouldn't live with him. Sometimes though it feels like my mom doesn't even treat me as her child more as a burden and I'm really tired of coming home from school thinking about what my mom's gonna be mad at me for. I just want to be with my dad knowing he'll actually take care of me

I want to live with my mom full time but I have to go to my dads every Wednesday and every other weekend. My moms says there has to be an open case for me to talk to the judge. There are many reasons I don’t want to live with him anymore. Is there anyways I can talk to a judge without having an open case? Is there any way I can live with my mom for full time?

I am 18 and my dad has custody of me but i want to go live with my mother and she is okay with it. will i get in trouble for moving in with her and not telling my dad?

**Guest** · 03-19-2018, 02:22 PM

Im 15, and in my city, you can take your case to court when you turn 14. I want to live with my mom, but my dad wont let me. I want to talk to him about it, but im scared that he wont let me, and will hit me. He has threatened death, calls me a useless piece of ****. I recently got in trouble and got suspended for something kinda illegal, and my dad hates me because of it. the other day, he threw me to the ground and punched me in the head. Im really scared of what he might do to me if he finds out im writing this, and I dont know what to do.... help plz.

I need help!
im not sure what to do, I am dating a girl and I am a girl. her mom is VERY homophobic! she keeps taking her phone, and are saying very mean things; "I'm choke the hell out of you", "I see evil in your eyes", "you're not my daughter.","I will beat you". she even goes as far as saying little things like; "you wanted jerk come over didn't you" , or tell her not to cry over me, and not be emotional in the house, she calls me a manipulator, a jerk, etc. she shows my girlfriend things and videos about peer pressure etc. my girl has become very sad and is different, she tells me she doesn't want to be alive anymore, or how she's empty, or how she can't cry and it hurts me.
im not sure if I can do anything, or even her. she wants to move in with her dad but her mom has full custody and says no. she's in a terrible living situation I'm so scared she'll get hurt. she has never beat her or anything but she threatens it everyday, does this count as abuse?
what can she do?
she's 15 till April 9th, its march 20th

Hi I am 16 years old and I want to go back to joint custody With both of my parents.

Growing up my parents always fought and then decided to have a divorce. so since my dad left I started thinking that my mother was the one who caused our family to separate. My father had brained washed me from when I was young *hes very convincing* that my mom was this "witch" the entire time--although she did do some things to me where she could have disciplined me differently, but now that I've gotten older to understand, she isn't always the best parent either. She was just perhaps hurt that I "took sides" and didnt bother to listen to her side of the story. Since the convincing story that my father presented to me at a young age changed the way I've thought about my mother, we'd had constant arguments with each other. Despite the arguments, we both still had a fun times such as, every year we'd go on vacation with the family, I'd always have conversations with her that I felt it was necessary to talk about in my life,a.k.a. "Counselor", i had many great times with friends around my moms area, went out, and you know, the fun teen stuff and I still felt comfortable. I feel like the reason our relationship was constantly on getting back to "bad terms" was not only because of her nagging obnoxious ways lol, but the young mentality that I had about her growing up. We, one day, gotten to an argument, which then turned a little physical and later lead her to call the police. Luckily enough, my dad was near the area to pick me up. I was fourteen at the time, and the court decided it was simply best for me to have my dad temporarily have custody of me until I go back, which is this sept. 18 of this year. I've been living with my dad for two years now and "the grass is not green on the other side". I've thought that things would've been better but now I see the importance of having a mom in your life. For ex, ever since I've left, I've even lost my virginity. Which demonstrates the impact from the absence of a "mother-figure". My fathers relationship has gotten weaker. I sometimes feel like half of the times I'm raising myself. I would need to do things that only a wife should do. Like am I even supposed to be washing his underwear? Am I supposed to be considered "the women of the house"? Do I have to look after his things when he's not here? And. Most times he's never home--yes he's working, but I feel deeply isolated from my friends in school. It's so severe that I even find myself talking to myself. I don't even have a phone so I don't even know what it is to interact with people besides seeing them face to face. He doesn't even want me on the house phone anyways and if I do, he has calls being recorded so he would often question who I'm talking to. He claims that healso have cameras in the house--he has one installed in the computer and tv-- and one outside the apartment so obviously he would know if I went out. I honestly feel like I'm being caged. I feel like he doesn't want me to interact with know one which is probably the reason why I didn't even have a sweet sixteen, while my mother was trying to plan one anyways. He's also not a promising persons either. I'm sick of it and I don't know if this is healthy as a teen or not. I miss having a mom where I can tell my things to--he wouldn't understand and get it if I talk to him, which is while we always lack communications with each other. I miss going out and stuff like that. And whenever i do something wrong he would Say that"ima dog" or "a piece of s$&t). when i asked if i Could he would deny it and state all the negative excuses why I can't. Yes my mom made mistakes but we just needed a break. Now I understand what she's talking about. My life had been so much better before, she's even planning things for me to get a job etc. and my father would deny it because that's be too much interaction etc. and he although have done a lot of me and still is so i still don't want to give him up just to be with my mom however, I feel like we emotionally, have problems. I'm sorry for the long paragraph but I HATE TO FEEL LIKE IM CAGED. HE'S VERY CONTROLLING AND OVERBEARING.

i want to move in with my mom. i'm 15 and live with my dad and stepmom. recently, (within maybe the last two and a half months), they've gotten abusive. we moved from north carolina to georgia at the end of october and it broke me. i'm exactly 252 miles away from the love of my life. we still talk to each other everyday, but it's not the same as seeing each other everyday. the stress of trying to fit in and make friends and make the cheer team has made me severely depressed and my anxiety been worse than ever in these past six months. i started self-harming in seventh grade. it got worse when we moved. my thighs are completely discolored now. my mom is a much better person than my dad and stepdad. she recently got remarried in november. my stepdad is amazing. i love both of them very much. i want to move in with my mom and stepdad but i'm scared to tell my dad and stepmom. i don't know how they'll react or if they'll slap me or choke me or something. help.

Hi Im 16 and I struggle a lot living with my dad, I don't get along with my stepmom a lot and my dad always tells me that I can change it. But I have and I'm honestly so tired of trying to fix my relationship with her. I don't really like her and I respect and appreciate things she does for me like makes my food and does my laundry. But we dont communicate and my dad always make it my fault saying I don't talk to her. But she has emotionally abused me and a little bit of physical abuse, me but not bad. She took some of my clothes out of my closet, and she hides food from me. We just never got along I don't really like her, it sucks because she's a stay at home mom so I see her 24/7. So I like to stay in my room a lot because it's were i won't fight with her, and that makes her mad. Then i tell my dad the things i need/want and he tells me to talk to my stepmom. Ive been talkingto a boy for awhile and he says i cant have one if i cant talk to my stepmom, im just so annoyed with this. Then my dad wanted to move to a new state. So that ment a new school and it sucks he's working all the time and I'm home with my stepmom. I don't really have any friends at my new school, and I just want to move back with my mom so I don't have to feel this way anymore, and have a healthy relationship with my mom and be with my friends again. I keep asking my dad if i can live with my mom. But he just gets really mad, takes my phone and says I'm not leaving. I just can't do it anymore its emotionally draining. I tell my mom this and she tells me that she can get a attorney ,but that just puts a whole lot of stress on me. i dont want to do that to my dad because that will just make him even more mad. I don't like hurting his feelings, but i cant live here anymore. please help
