How can I convince my mom?

Ok so my mom really hates my dad…I guess she sorta has a right to. Still… He is really nice to me and I like him a lot. I have been trying to convince my mom to let me live with my dad. I really really want to. I know she thinks I’m abandoning her and I don’t want her to be jealous or anything. I already explained to her that it’s nothing to do with who I like more its about where I live. She moved me to ny and my dad got to stay behind in seattle and I would do anything to get my old life back with my old school and friends. Still no matter how much I plead she wont give in =/ I don’t know what to say to her to what to do. Everyone is taking my moms side… Even my brother! Does anybody know what I can do or say??? Please

Answer #1

you cant really do much. =( But your mom must have a reason to why she wont let you live with your dad. I think that if you really really want to you should take time just to be with her alone and explain to her why you want to live with your dad. I understand why your mom thinks your going to abandon her. NO mom whats to lose her kids. so try to put yourself in your mothers shoes and think about how she feels. Its hard to move away from all your friends, trust me I no..but it might be a good thing. good luck with everything =D
