How should I tell my mom?

My parents are divorced, and have been since I was about 12. I currently live with my Mom, and things have been really stressful and hectic for a while. I thought that if I waited, things would get better. But they only get worse. I want to move with my dad, who lives about half an hour away, but I don’t know how to tell my mom. I don’t want to hurt her feelings or anything-so how do I tell her?

Answer #1

parents are all about making their kids happy talk to her about it and how you feel about living with her and im sure she’ll understand

                         good luck, Brooke

When you feel or see it’s a good time,have her sit down with you,but to make sure things stay at a calm level,tell her you don’t want to argue. Once she’s ready,begin to talk about how things have been going and how it’s been affecting your life. She may ask where your getting at,start off easily by telling her that you don’t like how things are going between her and your dad.

If she begins to get angry,don’t say anything,just go to your room until she is calm,but if she doesn’t,continue one about what you want. Like most people say,if she wants what’s best for you,just let it out by saying (if you want to) “Mom,I’m very sorry to say this to you but,I want to move in with dad”,if she begins to cry,just tell her the good side of it. You know what to do from there.

Good Luck!

Oh, I’ve been through this. It’s really hard and I know you think it’ll kill her, but you just have to come out and tell her you want to live w your dad. That’s what I did. Just stay strong. It might hurt but it’ll get better. Especially if she knows how you really feel as opposed to you living a fake, double life. Because trust me, it sucks. And tell her that it’s not that you’re picking your dad over her. It’s just what you need to do w your life. You need to be w your dad. Trust me, I’m the biggest daddy’s girl EVER lol.

Buena Suerte!!

Answer #4

You should just down and talk to her and let her know that you would like to spend some time whit your dad. That thinkgs have been really hard for you and yo just want a little break! Tell her that you just want to go that you will come back but also explain to her all the feelings inside you about how things have been. Dont think that is your fault. and your mom will understand and I hope it all works out for you! =)

Answer #5

Do not make it about NOT living with your Mom, make it about living with your Dad for a while. You love them both, which is right, and you just want to be with your Father for now.

Good Luck!!
