I Would Like To Live With My Mother?
Hello, everyone. I have a very serious issue. My parents are divorced, and they have been ever since I was a baby. I live with my father, since he has a good, steady job and my mother thought that it would be best for me. She’s an artist who lives in a cute house by the sea. She paints and makes jewelry and art out of sea glass and seashells. She is also the one who gave me the name Marissa, which means "Star of the Sea". I’ve only seen her a few times since I was born: on Christmas 2005 (when I was 10), on my fifth b-day, when I graduated elementary school, and on my 13th b-day (I’m 14). Each time I met her she brought lovely presents, including jewelry she made and some of her paintings. When I turned 13 last year, she gave me a beautiful snow white kitten that she found wandering the shore. I named her Noelle. Each time I saw my mother, she was very kind, loving, and gentle, but my father never even let her kiss, hug, or even touch me. It’s not like my mom’s a bad person. They only got the divorce because my dad met "someone else". Him and his girlfriend are still in a relationship and she’s just horrid. She hates me but LOVES my sister (who’s 16). His girlfriend is constantly putting me down and saying mean things.
Also, my dad favors my older sister. A LOT. He buys her so much stuff and gives her so many pets that she never takes care of, so I have to do it. She has all of the designer brands and is also quite nasty to me. I also dislike my dad because he doesn’t show me love, and just flat out ignores me.
To live with my mother, he would have to sign papers, and I’m wondering how to ask him. I’m afraid he’ll get mad at me. We live in Pennsylvania and my mom lives in Cape Cod, so I would probably take a bus to get to her, since NO WAY would my dad drive me. I would have to bring my kitten Noelle, and my sisters pets as well, since she doesn’t take care of them. She has a black kitten named Jinx (who I named), a golden-colored hamster named Sunny, and 2 white mice named Daisy and Snow. I myself don’t have many belongings. I have clothes, shoes, and accessories, but not that many of them because most of my outfits are mix and match so I don’t need many pieces of clothing and such. I also have a guitar, my white laptop (another gift from my mom) and stuff from my room. I wouldn’t bring furniture, though, only some little things.
So, in short, how do I ask my dad that I want to live with my mom, and how do I get there?
Marissa,
Have you asked your mother whether it would be OK for you to live with her? Very few artists make enough money to support 2 people. Jewelry makers also have a hard time making and selling enough jewelry to support themselves. People who buy paintings and jewelry are those who have extra money after paying for food, their mortgage, car payments, and so on. Also there are a lot of people who have regular jobs, and also paint and make jewelry part time. You mother has to compete with these people as well for her income.
Tell you mother about the problems you’re having with your dad. Ask her whether she has the finances to allow you to live with her. Also remember that this would be a huge lifestyle and psychological adjustment for your mother, apart from the financial aspect.
As far as transportation, can your mother come and pick you up? If she can’t why do you think she will be able to take you to the doctor, take you to the dentist, take you to your school activities, take you to…I think you get the picture.

I feel for you.
It seems you don’t want to discuss this with your dad. How about discussing it with you mother? The first step is to discuss this with one of them. No way out of that. You could consider presenting a compromise, visiting you mother for the holidays or for the summer.
Additionally, you should discuss what you discussed in your paragraph with your dad in a calm way, at a neutral time. If you would feel more comfortable, you could have the conversation with anther adult both of your respect, in the room.

I think you should talk to your mom about this. Will your mom take you in? All these years she didn’t do anything to get you. Why don’t you try to understand your dad. You maybe misjudging him. Remember sometimes what we see is not what is true and we maybe misled by our feelings. Good luck
