Hello. I'm Angie. For a few months now, I've been trying to decide whether or not I want to move with my father. I obviously live with my mom, then. And I've finally came down to my decision and I do in fact want to live with him. My mommy has known for awhile now that I've been thinking of moving with him... she doesn't mind it. My dad knows I've been wanting to too and he doesn't mind it one bit, so I'm finally going to talk to him about moving in this weekend when I visit him, but I don't know how to break it to my mom that I want to move with him.... What should I say? (link)

OK. now i can relate with this one. see, about a month ago i was seriously considering moving out of my house and going to live with my dad up in boston. i would have to leave all my friends, but sometimes things just got so bad at my mom's that i felt moving was my only option no matter who i hurt. i was also afraid of hurting my mom by saying i didnt want to live with her, and i knew she'd take it the wrong way. i ended up telling her i was considering it by saying "things at our house are just so bad that i cant stand living here any longer. you know i've been thinking about living with dad, and now i think im gonna do it. please dont take it the wrong way, i love you a lot, but i cant stand it here any longer and ive lived with you for so long that i want to live with dad for a change"... then i gave her a long hug. i think i made the right decision in letting her down softly, then comforting her afterwards. try this and see what happens
