Should I move to my dad's house even though my mum said she'd move and I won't see my brother?

Question

I argue with my mum continuosly. I try to resolve it but she just ignores me. I think it would be better if I moved in with my dad. But then my mum said she was going to move away as soon as I moved out. But I don't want her to because she would be taking my brother with her. I know she is doing it to spite my dad and it really hurts me and him. I've talked to her about it before but it doesn't seem to work. Help me please.

Answer 1

wow... your mother needs to grow up. what's wrong with parents today? they always put their *innocent* children in the way of their childish, ridiculous games.

** I would suggest telling your mother to get some medication.. she sounds bi-polar, depressed, and just plain old miserable... they do make medicines for what's wrong with her.

Answer 2

well if you cant get along with your ma then there really isn't any reason to live with her cause i don't think it is fun to just argue all the time and if she really does move away just talk to your brother on the phone and try to visit him as much as possible i think it would be better to be living with someone that you don't argue with continuously

my ma tried the same thing with me....oh i'll move away if you go live with your dad but she never really did this was about 6 years ago and to this day she still lives in the same house

Your question deserves more than a quick answer. I am not sure how old you are but I think you need a trusted adult to intervene between you and your parents, such as a school councilor or your pastor or other spiritual leader. You should not have to choose between your parents or feel as if you will be cut off from your family simply because your parents are having problems communicating.
Please find a trusted adult who can assist you with this problem as soon as possible, OK? Good luck, L

Answer 4

I think you should move in with ur dad, even if you mom is threatening to move with your bro. You have to do what is best for you. Eventually you will be old enough to see your brother without depending on your mom (you will have your own car etc.) so you won't lose your brother. Just move in with your dad and try to be happy.

Answer 5

Wow that is some serious drama going on there, i say move in with you dad and get him to speak with child protective services, and see if he can get custody of your bro., just let them know that your mom is being vindictive and making threats of moving and using your bro. as ammunition to black mail you into staying just to get back at your dad. I hope every thing works out for you and your dad, if you move in. And if you stay with you mom, just try and tough it out, they say this is the kinds of things that help you build character, well good luck.
