First of all, how old are you? If you're fresh out of college, you should probably stay where you are for at least a little longer. If you're in your twenties or so, you should look consider your options. Visit the area you want to move to and shop around for houses or apartments. If you find some good possibilities, you should tell your dad about your desire to move. Chances are he'll take it okay, and will understand that you are looking for a change. If he's worried about not seeing you again, promise that you'll call or write often and that you'll visit once you get the chance. Good luck!

Well, first, you have to come to terms with the fact that no matter how old you are, you'll break your Dad's heart. That's just the way it goes. Second, if it's beneficial to your future and well-being, I'm sure that will make your Dad very happy! Lastly, At the end of the day, this is your life. Make decisions accordingly and if you want to keep your Dad from being sad, make him a part of it. Talk to him, ask his opinions, etc..

Just ask yourself if your hesitating because of fear in respect to your dad or it's fear in the moving part. If you truly are ready to move out on your own then it will be a natural thing and easier for you. If your just wanting to move because society says your at the age to move, then don't do it. I say live at home as long as you can and enjoy the freedom it gives you with money and time. Good luck to you.

As a parent myself, I see it as a bittersweet day when a child moves away. It means I've done my job in creating an independent, self-sufficient individual. The satisfaction that comes from that far outweighs the feelings I would have about missing my child.

Any parent that intentionally holds a child back through guilt or manipulation is not a good parent.

If you're capable of taking care of yourself and this is what you want to do you owe it to yourself to move away.

We only go through this life once and you shouldn't pass up any opportunities.

Your father may be hurt at first but he'll be fine. Make sure you stay in contact a lot a first to help with the transition for both of you.

Parents raise their children to be independent and to have their own lives....your father really does want this for you....good luck.

I want to do that too, I want to move to oregon. But I am worried about that same thing, good ol' dad. Don't do it unless you have to. If it's for a relationship- don't do it, if he/she likes you that much he'll come to you. If it's for a job, maybe try searching more closer to home. Family is the most important thing in life besides jesus. You may regret it when your older and he dies and you didn't spend enough time with him.

You need to do what's best for you. I've told all 4 of my kids don't hang around here, find your own path we'll come visit. The oldest was married to a submariner and has been all over the world, including Guam. Seen thing her mom and I will never see.
So spread those wings and fly.

Hope this helps

This is true for your situation and for the healthy goals of all parents. It is from a poem abour raising children. This is just the basic meaning.
If you can only give your children two things in life,.let it be the roots of home that lets them know they are loved and the wings to be strong enough to fly away when they are grown.
So spread you wings and fly away to start your own life adventure.

If you feel that moving away is the right thing to do for you, then do it. It'll be hard on you and your dad for a while, but you'll get through it.
