I asked this question about one year ago. I moved in my 8th grade year. I miss my friends terribly and I still see them and talk to them almost on a daily basis. My grandmother who lives in the town I moved from said that if I really wanted I could live with her. Now that sounds so easy but my parents are the problem. I get in fights with my mom about almost anything and she has thrown things at me in the past. And my dad only listens to what my mom says. My dad lies to me so I won't move back to my grandmother`s. When we talk about it he always tells me family is more important then I think. It's just that it is no fun for me were I'm living. But I wonder if I could live without them.A part of me wants to go to my grandmother's with all my friends I think right now I just need to convince the other side. It's the summer now and if I'm going to move back I have to make a desicion soon. Please help me I need it. P.S I am 13,female

I'm the exact same way with my mom she bugs the hell out of me I wish I could move down to Virginia with my dad he listens to me and he's just always there for me when I need him and not when I don't. So it works out. My mom is always there when I don't need her, I mean jesus I never need her she's no help to me anyways so yeah. I think you should go live with your grandmother for a while. I mean come on what do you have to lose it's not like your mom and dad won't ever want to see you again, I mean geesh there your mom and dad. If they don't you need new parents. Time away is always gonna be int he back of your head. Just go down and live with grams and try and clear your head about everything else. Hope I helped!

pinkfairy1773 answered Sunday June 19 2005, 5:44 pm: ok well i just read the book of the sisterhood of the traveling pants, and this girl spends summer with her grandma. but she goes back later because of her friends. and well i dont know what you should do, because i had never seen you or anything. but if you really think about it ... alone. quietly..and close your eyes and REALLY think. you will know what you really want...
i mean if you want to go, why do you need to convince the other side?
Just trust your gut and go with the flow. it might not come out right. but give it some time and if you really want to go back to your parents later, you know you are always welcomed to them right? so
Go to your grandma's (i mean they may be old but they are good listener and very wise...) and spend some time there, and if you enjoy it then very very great and stuff...but if its not same as you left it, then go back to your parents...
hope this helped
and remember, all things happen for purpose...and trust your heart!
