Shouldn't Parents Live together?
I visited my grandparents a few weeks ago and totaly loved it there, I saw all my old friends (I used to live there when I was 9), and the youth groupe rocked! I told my mom how much I loved it there and she asked if I wanted to move there. I told her yes but I ment my entire family. My mom really misses it back in her home town and wants to move there and has made arangements to move back there but without my dad. They aren't getting a divorce but they still aren't going to live together for like 3 years. Mom says that there marriage will last, but I can't help but think that she is sacrificing here marriage for me... should I tell her that i don't want to move (I really do) because she says that we won't if I don't want to.

Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
You need to make a decision of what is more important to you. Being with your friends or having a family that's together. There are kids all over the world that just wish that they could have both parents at home.
You never know how much youll miss something until it's gone.

You were honest. That was the best thing for you to do. The truth is your mother is moving because she wants too, not because you want too. She is probably happy you agree.
Think of this way: If you wanted to move to say New York you could go in and say "Mom, I want us to move to New York!" and she would probably say "Are you kidding? All our work and friends are here. We are adults. We can't just up and move cause our teenage kid wants us too!"
So you see, she isn't moving because of you. She is moving because she wants too and has decided too.
The important part in all of this is that you sit down and be clear with your parents about your fears. It's true that a lot of parents don't live togeather. Consider people married to soldiers. They could easily spend years away from one another. But it's still really important for you to be able to talk about your concerns with your parents so that you know where they both stand.
Just keep being honest about your feelings.
