How should I tell my dad I want to live with my mom again after living with him for 6 years?

I really need help trying to get him to understand that a girl needs her mother. If I live with my mom I can do Cyber School and get a job during the day and I’d keep up with my school work, so I can afford to go to college by 2013.

Answer #1

Just sit him down, and talk to him about it. Tell him your feelings.

Answer #2

Truth is, every child needs both there parents at some point. Girls tend to need there mothers the older they get. I was a daddys girl growing up, and I still love him dearly, but as I got older it was easier to relate to her, be closer to her, have a relationship with her that I didnt have when I was growing up because as a child I favorited my dad. Just tell him how you feel. If you love him, tell him you love him. Say what you mean and open your heart. :)

Answer #3

just tell him the truth that you want to live with your mom. he is not going to stop you i am sure

Answer #4

I’m 12 (13 in April) and I’ve lived with my dad ever since I was 2. And at times, I do feel like I need my mom. But unlike what seems to be your case, my mom isn’t responsible, and my dad is..

Just sit and talk with your dad.. tell him that you still love him, but tell him that you need your mother, and that you’ll still try to visit him.

Best of luck.
