My aunt lives w/ my dad & I, but they dont date or anything she is supposed 2 be the "care taker" while my dad is offshore. The thing is my aunt was supposed 2 have left her boyfriend of 14yrs(off & on) but she still keeps in contact w/ him & they constantly fight which makes her depressed & she drinks all the time 2 deal w/ it. Her children dont want her drinkin anymore but she is old enough 2 do wat she wants. But I am the one havin 2 live w/ her and always be stuck in the middle of everything. I cant take it anymore. I always think about movin to my moms, who lives out of state, but i dont want 2 leave my dad b/c I am all he really has left. I am old enough to have a say so in wat goes on but its hard when she really has no place 2 go and I dont want to hurt anyone in the process of myself keeping a sane mind. But then again i dont wanna be selfish.

You should talk to your dad about it firstly, if you don't want to leave you dad, tell him that you don't think your aunt is the right person to be looking after you, and see if he can find someone else. You sound to young to have to worry about someone else's drinking and love life problems. You really need to sit down and have a long chat with your dad when you get a chance

You're not being selfish at all. These grown ups should know better. Your dad leaves you in the care of an aunt because he's always away, so what difference does it make if you live with your mom? Also, you could talk to your dad and tell him the truth. Show him a copy of your question here if its easier and clearer. You shouldn't have to stay in that kind of situation for another day. Also, go to a therapist/counselor who can advice you and help you cope on an ongoing basis. You need advice, seriously.

If your dad is offshore most of the time, you need to speak with him about your feelings once he's back for awhile. Then hopefully he'd understand that it might be better for you to be with your mom, at least while he's not there
