Right now I'm 16 and will be a junior. I've lieved with my mom all of my life. I have no sblings whatsoever. Both parents are remarried. I think that my dad deserves atleast two years to have a shot at this parenting gig. Don't you? I mean I have a great relationship w/my old man. We can talk about everything. From sex to menstral cramps to basketball to hardware(i know nothing of). So we're pretty honest w/eachother. I'm just as honest w/my mom. But I just had to move on base from where I used to live. So unfortunately i had to change schools. i haven't made any close friends yet. So i see no real reason in putting up w/my mom's depression when i can barely handle my own. Right now I'm at the point where I don't know how to confront my mom though. We've been through this before but I really want this. I may just go to my dad's next week(which im supposed to) and not come back. I know that's harsh but she will not listen(she hasn't before). What do I do here?

You really should talk to your mom about how you feel. I know how hard it is to talk to some people both, when they are depressed and when they won't listen. But your mom deserves to know how you feel.
But if you think your mental well being will improve if you live with your father, then by all means, I would go. But don't lose contact with your mother. I would try to schedule days out with your mom. Or something the 2 of you can do together. Maybe it will help your mom feel better. Like go shopping. And the exercise helps depression.

I feel your pain, I too am I miltary kid and move too. I just moved to Alabama away from my friends. Please, it sounds like your mom has gone through alot. She is a person too! She has feelings! Its a rough time. I saw live with your dad a few extra days, have your dad talk to you mom and try to work it out. Hey, her depression might be a disease. You never know. God bless and if you need someone to talk to, Im here

Talk to your Dad and get his opinion. If he agrees with you, let him handle it. At 16, you are old enough to make that decision and you are not your mother's keeper.

yes go with your dad, but make sure that your mom doesnt feel left out and that your dad and step mom are fine with it(as well as any stepsiblings you may have). good luck.

Dad, yes, and I think it would be wise of you to live with your Dad.
