My parents have been divorced since I was around 2 and my mom has had custody of me and my brother. My dad lives 45 minutes away and I only get to see him every 2 weeks for the weekend. I have lived with my mom all my and now I think I want to live with my dad and see my mom like my dad sees me now. I really miss my dad and when I am at his house I feel happy and relaxed but when I am at my moms house I am usually sad or mad and I feel all stressed out and Im usually in a bad mood. I my mom and all I just miss my dad and my family with him....like my step mom and 2 step sisters. My parents say that they split up and moved away from each other becuz it was "best for me and my brother" but I think they were doing it and being selfish because its not right that I dont get to see my dad as much as I want to. I dont want to hurt my mom but I miss my dad too. Please if you have any advice or know what I should do please email me at SmileyGurl4eva@aol.com as soon as you can...Thanks!

Kayla...I am also in a similar situation. I live with my mom and I only get to see my father every other weekend. My dad is remarried and they have 2 kids together. I have been lucky to be blessed with an amazing stepmother and half brothers. I constantly fight with my mom and I also feel stressed when I am with her. I used to think it was because she was a bitch but I have come to realize that I am a teenager at the age where many fight with their mothers. I have always wanted to live with my dad as well. I also feel better when I am there...I feel warm and secure. Over the years though (my parents have been divorced 4 years), I have come to realize that its better living with my mother...I mean, the court made the decision for the better. I my dad tons and I still wish I saw him more. To my surprise, I found out that once a child reaches the age of 14, they have a say on where they'd like to live. I have remained living with my mother but I get to see my father more often now. I see him twice a week and everyone other weekend...its definitly an improvement! Speak to your parents...I am sure your mother will understand you. Thats what mothers are there for Good luck!

Awww. I'm so very sorry to hear that. What I suggest you do is keep an optomistic outlook and remember that good things happen to good people. I wish you good luck! -Emily
