What should I do?
Here is the situation: My dad wants me to move with him for the first time in my life he wants to be a father but I dont want to move with him. I currently live with my grandparents and if I tell my dad no he is going to be horrible and call the cops. Which I will refuse to go and get in a fight and go to juvi. Ever since I was little I have been terifyed of him and nobody seems to know why when my grandpa is worse and I can stand up to him. Im afraid of what I should do because I hate my dads girlfriend she is visious and he just agrees with what she says. I need to choos what to do because I think that if I give my dad another chance I wont come back… I will go mental I cant handle him but if I refuse (because my mom is on the run and I live with my grandparents) I will go to juvi Somebody please answer ASAP I only have til this thursday to make my final choice. thanx
Unfortunately if you not within the legal age to decide who or where you want to live with, the court will grant custody to the person who can provide the most for you, eg: emotionally and financially…which in your case is your dad.
Not knowing the exact circumstances, it’s very difficult for strangers to lend a hand in your decision making…Is there anyone you can chat too regarding your feelings towards your dad and grand-dad? Maybe a school nurse or a school principal?
PS: remember girlfriends can be replaced but you are his daughter and will always be his daughter no matter what and if your dad is a fair and decent man, he will not put his girlfriend first before you.
Hi SweetHeart, I am Georges Mom. If you live in Australia, by law you are alowed to make your own dedsision to whom you live with. It sounds like it would be a better idea to stay with your Gradparents as it sounds like you are scared of your dad because you have rarely lived with him. The Courts give the child the right to choose who to live with at your age. May be get your Grandma to back you up too.
I don’t see why you would have to go to juvi if your mothers on the run that has nothing to do with you as long as your grandparents don’t have a criminal record you should be able to choose to stay with them. I know how it is to be living with someone and they listen to whatever their significent other says. Its frustrating. So if you wanna live with your grandparents just make sure you have good reasons to stay with them. I wish you the best of luck with your situation.
