I live with my mom right now and sometimes i dont even make it to school but im scared because if i move with my dad, my mom might have another mental break down. But with my dad: i'll be making it to school on time and be passing my classes. I love both my parents but i dont think ill even graduate if i stay with my mom, but im scared for her health.

You need to do what's best for you. If staying with your mom is making your grades go down, and being late for school. Then maybe you need to live with your dad. And you can not blame yourself for what your mother dose. sometimes when people get divorced the kids blame themselves and it's not the kids fault. and then the parents like to play games with the kids. Play the kids against the other parent. Your young and you need to live your teenage years as a teenager and not an adult. Hope this helps.

Miguel, please listen to me. You need to talk to a counsellor at school at explain what is going on. You will not get your mother into trouble by doing this but you may be able to find some help for her. She is not having mental breakdowns because of anything that you are doing or not doing this is simply a disease of the mind that need to be cared for just like if she had cancer or diabetes. While your mother is getting the medical attention that she needs you need to stay with your dad and focus on your studies. You must not feel guilty for what is going on in your mom's life you did not cause it nor can your fix it. The only way that you can help is by looking after yourself and doing the best that you can to graduate from school. Staying behind and watching your mother's mental health deteriorate is not going to help either you or her. If you can talk to your Dad and ask him to help you make some positive decisions about moving in with him. Good luck my prayers are with you.

You should move with your dad and maybe your mom can get professional help. You deserve to be able to go to school and live your life. It isn't your job to take care of your mom but the other way around. Talk to your dad and tell him what your thinking and maybe after you move with him he can get help for your mom.

Maybe you should live with your dad but come and visit your mom everday after school and pretty much spend the rest of the day with her do a little homework there and while at school do homework and stuff.
