Question Posted Thursday November 23 2006, 6:25 pm
I'm so depressed, I only found out this morning that my dad wants us to move house, he says he doesn't know where...Just go. We only just got here really, haven't been here long , but it's a really great place and we all love it here. I don't know why he wants to go. I'm just about to start a new school, a new job and now we have to go?! All that aside, the best thing that's ever happened to me will be taken away from me. My boyfriend is the most perfect, beautiful person and I'm so scared I'll lose him, that's my biggest concern. I love him more than anything and I just don't think I can let him go. My dad is often all talk no action but I dunno this time. I can often talk him out of stuff....Please, I need help, what will I do? Now I havent even started school or my new job yet...and I just could bear to leave.
Try not to worry about it so much, I know its hard. Concentrate in succeeding at school, staying close with your boyfriend, doing great at work, and finding some great friends. That should keep you busy.
In the meantime, talk to your dad. Try to figure out why he wants to move; then try a compromise. Try "Can we give this house 6 more months, then if you still don't like it we can begin talking about moving to a new city."

"you always do this to me!" instead try, " i feel like whenever something good happens for me, i lose it. it's really important for me to stay here" using "you phrases" makes the other person feel attacked, so try using "i" phrases. much luck with this. and if things dont work out, then think of it this way; it's a learning experience and it WILL make you stronger, pain can be good.

try to get more "dad" related reasons (or awnsers) for staying and tell him about it.
hope i helped and good luck [ hoji's advice column | Ask hoji A Question ]
