This will be hard but you can have a great relationship and possibly a closer relationship because of the distance. I was older but when I left home for the first time I moved 1500 miles away. I missed both my Mom, Dad, brothers, and My Sis very much. We called each other a lot. I actually grew closer to my Mom and when we did get together the time we had was so special. With the distance between us we don't take anything for granted. My Mom is gone but I am very close to my Sis & Dad.
Just stay in touch with your Mom and visit as often as you can. Remember love can still be felt across the miles.

I wish she wouldn't do that. Your step dad knew his wife had a daughter already when he married her; he shouldn't move her away from you.
But, she's going, so you have to cope. Call her a lot. Visit when you can. And start finding other women who can do some of the things your mom would do. Maybe an aunt or the mother of a close friend or a neighbor.... They won't replace your mom, but they can still help you in your growth from girl to woman.

Is your name Flannery?? o_o This is the situation my friend was in. Her mom got remarried and moved with her new husband. Try visiting her on holidays or school breaks, and spend time talking to her on the phone. I've been without a mom for nearly 5 years (she passed). It takes time to cope, but you should get over it a little better when she's there to talk to.

Have you thought of asking to go , too ? She is now married to a different person, it is his duty to care for his family. If that means moving, then move he must. Would your Dad consider letting you move, would you want to move ? My Mother died when I was 16 years old, she was 41--if I could have , I would have moved to Timbuktu.

This is a tough one. Try and accept the situation as it is and do things that you enjoy. Also try to make friends then spend time with them to talk about your feelings.

I encourage you to keep in touch with your family. Families are our foundation for childhood emotional development, even through our teenage years.
