See for a few years now eversince my parent's were divorced I always had to go to my dad's house and he picked me up to stay for the weekend. But now this year he moved to Las Vegas and just left me here and now comes back and says that I should go to his house again and for a while now I've been ignoring him and not telling him the truth and making up excuses not to go over to his house. But this time for the weekend my friend and I were gonna hang out and go to the mall (etc.) and he says that I have to go to his house and he's gonna pick me up tomorrow morning. I tried telling him that I have other plans but he didn't listen to me at all! Then I told my mom about it and she said "No you're gonna go to your dad's this weekend" it's not fair both of them didn't listen to me and I don't wanna go over to his house cause it's so boring and we do nothing over there and I'd rather hang out with my friends. At least my friends were there for me when I needed them and my own dad wasn't.

I know it seems unfair, but you need to go see your dad. Talk to him about setting up a time in advance for the next time so that you will not make plans. You need to tell time why you don't want to see him. Be nice.

Go to your dad's and tell him what you said in this post.He will listen I gaurauntee.Tell him how it made you feel when he left and moved so far away.Tell him you get bored maybe you can think of things you both enjoy doing.Tell him he wasnt there when you needed him, this will make him tear up.I want you to remember one thing, if he didnt love you, you wouldnt have ever seen him after the divorce again or it would have been maybe once every 6 months or a yr and a half etc.

it all depends on what your age is and what state you live in.
if you are a certain age you can usually go to court and ask the judge to let you decide if you want to visit with your dad and then it has to be on your terms.
it sounds like you are pretty smart, do a little digging on the internet and see what your options are.
i would go tomorrow and have a heart to heart with dear old dad. really let him know how you feel, but do not mention what you are planning on doing. (let that be a surprise) hey, he might be hurt, but you are growing up and your wishes should be considered too.

are you 15 or older? time for you to assert yourself and say you are not going, as long as your friends are good and decent and not bad news.
