I want to move to my moms

[Jables]

My parents divorced when I was two years old and From kindergarten to grade 7 I went to school while living with my mom in a city but recently last year I moved in with my dad because I was a having a hard time with my stepdad. Recently my stepdad has been a nicer guy and I miss living at my moms now. I am going into grade nine at my high school in the small town I live in with my dad. This high school is very small and boring and kind of depressing. I really want to move back to my moms where the school is bigger and I can reunite with my old friends. Only problem is school starts next week and I will lose all my dads respect if I do. What should I do

You could tell him about your feelings truthfully, how you're missing your friends and all. I mean he's your dad, he would always want you to be happy. You could probably promise to be back for vacations.

One thing I forgot to mention is my dad and my mom fight a lot and her really do not like eachother. And telling my dad would probably not end in a good result

[Abhorrence]

Everything you're saying is just a possibility. There is indeed a possibility that your dad will react badly but there's also a possibility he will understand and see it your way. You've got to do what makes you happy, no matter what other people may say. If you are forcing yourself to stay at your dad's just to keep him happy at the consequence of your unhappiness then you need to just tell him how you feel and move back in with your mum. Have a civil conversation with him, I'm sure he wouldn't be that bad.

There's a lot of things to think about and a lot of possible outcomes. If the only reason you want to move is because of your school you might find your school in the city even worse. You're stepdad is being nicer to you but will he once you move back? I can't imagine how hard it must be when your parents fight all the time. Just look at all the possibilities and try to make the smartest choice because if you move back to your mom's and it doesn't workout it'll be even harder for you.

Jables if it is what you really want, then sit down with your dad, and explain it to him.
Tell him it is not anything he has done, but that you miss your friends and maybe say you'll be back for holidays?
