Family, Boyfriend, Choices?!

OMG! I have a friend in your exact same situation. She already chose to move out with her bf. She's happy that she did b/c she's out of her house but it's ruined her relationship w/her mother. It's also made life harder for her b/c she needs to work more to pay to live with her bf. Plus if she ever wanted to leave him she probably couldn't b/c she wouldn't be able to tend for herself.

If you really want this guy gone you should speak to your mom first. Tell her if she gets rid of him you'll stay and if not then you are going to leave. I'm sure she'd want you to stay b/c she won't have anyone else to talk to when your gone and she'll be stuck all alone with him. Plus I know you're 17 but it's hard to be out of the house at that age... trust me I've done it.... and guess what my sorry butt is back at home. It's never the same after you moved out and then come back either.

i was in that same situation, well kinda. i have been dating my bf for 5 years now and about 2 years ago we had talked about getting our own place. my mom knew how much i loved him and she didnt want to lose me but she wanted me to be happy. it was 1 1/2 months after my 17th birthday that i moved him with nic and after about 4 months we bought our own house. the point is that i was grown and i was ready to start a life of my own. i didnt lose my mom though, i talk to her almost everyday and i see her often. you cant stay with your mom forever and you shouldnt feel guilty for leaving. you need to think about you and your life, but the only warning that ima give is that you really need to make sure you wanna stay with this guy cause living with someone is a big deal and once you live together things tend to change. i wish you luck

jsut tell your mom what you said to us....
