Well, just tell your dad you love him, but that you also love your mom, and since you’ve been living with him, you’d like to spend time with her over the summer.

Don’t worry about all the judging. That’s going to happen. If your dad loves you and is reasonable, he’ll understand your desire to have a relationship with your mom.
