My dad wants to leave my mom , what should I do?
I do feel for you. Remember that people say horrible things out of anger in an argument, and they dont necessarily mean it to be so hurtful. Theres not a lot you can do. If their relationship is Truly breaking down and they are arguing a lot and saying hurtful things to eachother (which in turn is hurting you) maybe the best thing is for your dad to leave. Your whole family are much more likely to be happier without all the arguments. It doesnt mean they love you any less or either of them will want to see you any less, they just cant be happy together. Look at other families with divorced parents and see how happy they are now the arguements are not there anymore. And maybe it wouldnt be a permanent thing. Maybe they need time apart to realise that they really do need eachother and they could get back together much happier. Try to stay positive and remember that although this is a horrible time for you and your parents, things will get better and you will all be happy again, whether thats with them staying together or not.
Do you think my mom wants me to leave her alone? Or should I try again?
My parents divorced soon after I was born. My mom had some drug problems so my dad got custody. But she has cleaned up completely and she even got remarried and had 2 new kids with her new husband. Anycase, two months ago I was able to track down my mom's new home address and phone number (turns out she still lives in new york). I've emailed her a couple of times and she didn't want me to meet her so many years later but eventually I got her to agree. so since I go to a charter middle school where the hours are shorter I was able to take the subway and walk to her house without my dad every finding out. It was really good and we talked alot and I told her everything about my life. Really nice time. So I emailed her again if we could meet again but this time she's refusing and then I emailed her back again and no answer. Should I call her on the phone? Or should I just leave her alone? It was kind of nice having a mom and just talking and I really thought we could hang out a little more. I know she has her own family now, and I understand that- but she's still my mom right? But I don't want to start ANNOYING her and make her hate me like she hates my dad. I'm not like some dweby sissy kid who needs a mother all the time, I'm just talking about hanging out once every few months. So what should I do now- Especially if you're a mom then you can tell me what she's thinking and how I should talk to her.
Should I move out, leaving behind my single mom?
There’s no right or wrong answer here. When you say “help buy a home”, you’re not really being clear as to what you mean. Are you going to buy the home yourself, and pay for it, or let her pay you to stay in the home? Do you mean you’re going to give her the down payment that she needs? Are you going to apply for the loan along with her, because she doesn’t have the necessary credit? Is the issue her income alone won’t qualify her, so you need to include your income as a co-applicant? It’s hard to answer with any certainty when you haven’t provided any pertinent details. If your mom hasn’t been able to save on her own to buy a house, how do you know she can afford to pay the mortgage, taxes, insurance, and maintenance once you’ve helped her buy the house? I would say if you are sure she could afford the house by herself if she only had the down payment, first see if there are any programs that she can take advantage of to assist with the down payment, so that you can keep saving your money for your own home. If the issue is her credit, and it’s because she is terrible at managing finances and paying bills on time, having a long term commitment such as a house is only going to make things worse, especially if you’re a co-applicant on the mortgage, in the event she can’t pay her portion and you’re stuck carrying the full burden on your own. If this is the situation, and she finds herself not able to make the payments at one point, are you going to be able to step in and help out, so she doesn’t lose the house (and your hard-earned money along with it)? It sounds like you make a promise to your mom that you didn’t fully think through, and now you’re on the hook and don’t want to feel bad about going back on your word. If it means that much to you, find a way to make it happen without keeping yourself stuck living at home, without jeopardizing your own credit, and without emptying your bank account. Again, it’s hard to answer when you haven’t really explained much. Helping her buy a home can mean many things to many people, and nobody can know exactly what it means to you unless you say it.

So, how can I leave her and go?? I want to take her with me!!! But how can I??? When my mom was told that I will study abroad she cried... and so do I.... A lot of things come to mind that time.... I don know what to do whether to go to USA or NOT......... My dad do not understand me that I can't leave my mom alone... He said I was stupid.... So do my father's family. I don't know what to do....
