SummerLovingXo answered Monday April 18 2005, 3:55 pm: maybe you could explain to your mom that you really miss him. Ask if over the summer or when you have off if you could visit him for a hwile or even all summer. That way you wont be leaving your friends for good, but you can spend time with your dad..
..also if your father has no family or very important job where he is you can talk to him and see maybe he can move closer to you so you can see him on weekends or more often...but the first adivce probably will work as opposed to this one will be harded to "pull off"
nocturnalkid answered Monday April 18 2005, 3:53 pm: Why don't you try a trial visit? See if you can arrange a one to two week visit between your mom and your dad; you don't necessarily have to live with him, just visit him once in a while. Technology today has made it much easier to contact our loved ones, so during those times you can't see your dad (or your mom if you decide to move) you can always call, email, or write.

yesiliketobeme answered Monday April 18 2005, 3:43 pm: since all your friends and mom live in mass. i think you should stay there and just visit your dad when you have vacations off from school. if you move with your dad eventually tou will just begin to miss everyone back in mass. if visiting is not enought maybe talk to your dad about him moving to mass. explain to him how much you miss him. and how much it sucks to be so far away.
hope i could help. [ yesiliketobeme's advice column | Ask yesiliketobeme A Question ]
oxKateKaylaxo answered Monday April 18 2005, 3:34 pm: Well, you are most definately in a predicament. My parents are divorced too, so i know how you feel. Luckily, my parents both live in Mass, so its not a big issue. That decision has to come from you. You can't ask someone else to make it for you, or you won't be truely happy. Why don't suggest taking a trip during the summer to visit your dad, that way, you will have an easier time choosing and get to see yboth of your parents. During the school year, write or call him often, so that you still talk to him. Or maybe you can just live with your dad during the summer if you decide you like it there! Let the decision come from your heart. Let me know how it turns out!
