thanks for all of your wonderful answers. i'm sure things will work out.

i've lived with my dad for twelve years since my parents divorced. i'm very glad that i chose to live with him instead of my mom but i've never been exactly what you would call "daddy's little girl"... i've always been pretty independent from both of my parents. i've always made my own decisions because i don't like other people making decisions for me. that is mainly what this is about. it seems like all my dad and i ever do anymore is fight and i'm getting a little bit tired of it. i feel like if i move out now my relationship with my dad could get better and i would have more room to think about what i want to do with my life.

right now i am a sophomore in college working on a degree in magazine publication. if there is one thing my dad and i agree on, it is that i should finish school before i get married. the boyfriend agrees completely and is very supportive of me and my education.

Create a ritual with your dad, like every Saturday having breakfast together. That way you will see him regularly and the time together will be special.

Give him a big hug while telling him that you love and respect him very much. Some birds can't be caged.
Remember... Give your father the chance to give you away properly. Did your fiancee ask your father first for your hand in marriage? -Maybe he should be a man and ask him if he hasn't already. It will help. Your father will be okay with it knowing that his baby girl just didn't run off with the first guy. You daddy needs to know that you still need him and love him. So, tell him. -Good luck.

it is natural for dad to feel this way. he feels like he's losing his babygirl and some man is trying to take his place. and even though your engaged , he rather you move out once you where married. because and engagement can me forever. and if you move in with your fiance', he can start acting funny and keep putting off the marriage. And then you will be stuck, Daddy don't like when is babygirls are messed over.

Unfortunately and fortunately dads are dads......they are overprotective and they cherish their little girls and only want the best for them! Plan special time with your dad so that he doesn't have a void where you were. All parents just have a hard time letting go just continue to ensure him that you are happy and are still his daughter no matter where you live.

Nothing, time will heal his pain, but don't be a stranger. Visit often and call to say hello every day
