What can I do to be able to spend all of my time with my mom?

My parents recently divorced because my dad cheated on my mom (multiple times). They didn't give me any say in who I wanted to live with and decided everything on their own. I want to live with my mom all the time but as it is now I'm spending about a third of my time at my dads apartment. Every time I bring up the idea of living with my Mom my parents threaten to send me back to therapy. I've been to therapy before (though i don't really know why) when my parents first got separated and I absolutely despised it. How can I talk to my parents about where I live when every time I bring up the matter they want to send me to a therapist?

    Amber just relax and enjoy the ride for now. You will be an adult soon enough and make your own decisions on where you want to go and spend time with.

    The world may come to an end but, it won't be because of your parents divorce.

    Sounds like there is more here than perhaps even your parents are telling you. I think that even though you didn't like going to therapy, that maybe you should continue to go or go back. It sounds as though you may have some unresolved feelings about the whole situation. And maybe even bring up this issue with your therapist. Perhaps your therapist could do some kind of group session with your parents and help you to mediate the living arrangements.

    Either way I know from experience how difficult a divorce can be. My parents also divorces when I was 15 and I remember how confusing the whole thing was. Just know that time will heal all wounds and you will eventually find your way.

    Until then I wish you the best of luck and happiness.

    I get one holiday according to day. A part hour lunch holiday. Aubree's babysitter is approximately five mins from my paintings. I might move see her however that could depart confined time to honestly consume lunch except I packed a sandwich and ate it at the force there or whatever. I actually consider it could be extra complex for me. I think quilty adequate having to drop her off each morning so I can move to paintings. I do not wish to move via leaving her two times an afternoon. Plus, my lunch is in the course of 'nap time' so I could be interrupting and probably waking the opposite kids and Im certain the babysitter would not like that. She instructed me that I was once greater than welcome to come back any time however she's in general simply telling me that to calm me! :-)

    try telling them why you would prefer to live with your mom. if you gave them a good reasoning then they will probably be more understanding. also be sure your mom is able to take you full time, maybe she cant because she has alot of other things going on.

  • Did you talk to your mother first and see if she wants you to be with her?

    May be before you make any plans, you need to talk to her first.
