Hello /adv/, some family problems came up and I need help deciding what to do.
For a bit of background: My parents have been divorced for about 10 years now. It was kind of a on-and-off thing at first, but when my mom decided to scoop up me and my brother and move to the city in 2011, it became a more permanent deal. During that time I spent living with her, I came to lose all the respect I had for this woman. She was completely irresponsible, immature and would make very bad decisions, including trying to get back together with my dad while also having an affair behind his back.
I later moved back to the suburbs with my father and have been struggling with depression ever since, which was likely brought on by the miserable time I spent with my mother. It's been working out so far, but recently she let slip to me that she's thinking of moving back with us to "take care" of me.
Naturally, I'm strongly opposed to this. I didn't say anything when she mentioned it, but I made it clear that I don't miss her company. I've been thinking of talking to dad about this when he comes home later from work, but I'm not sure how to go about it.
Thanks in advance, hope you can help.
You confront her and tell her
>I want to stay with dad
She can't force you to live with her, and if she does, go to court.
Same goes for your father - you tell him that you want to live with him, not with her, and that you want it to stay that way because she's a bad influence for you, and that she's done enough damage to your head already.
