IT all began when my father got a job 1000 miles away from where my whole life has been. We weren't going to move until February.
My dad has always been a bit controlling but has been a good dad. My mum is amazing and always supports me and I have a younger sister just starting high school. It was hard for me to accept this change of moving because, like I said, my hole life was here. I just started a relationship with someone I love so much who encourages and supports me. I have the best group of friends and I just finished my HSC and planned to start uni here.
I had to make a choice whether to stay here or to move miles away from my life. I was thinking of maybe going to uni up there for 6months thens transferring just to help my sister and parents adjust (because their brothers.. sisters.. parents, are all down here too). But I found out not long after we knew we were moving that my parents were now going to divorce. I was in complete shock because I always thought my parents were exactly what I wanted to have with my future wife. But my mum and sister were going to stay here. I later found out they got back together to try again. I'm a christian and prayed for God to guide me and I felt as if I should stay here. I've had about 5 offers of places I could stay and I wanted to stay because I don't want to be away from the relationship I have and my friends, because they truly make me happy. My girlfriend told me that its okay for me to go for 6months-a year because it'll only make us stronger.
Months later, I decided to stay. My family has moved now and I'm staying with my grandparents and everything feels so peaceful. But my family life is not. My dad wants me to move and to do it now. And my mum who said she wants me to be happy now seems to be taking my dads side.. I don't know if I made the right decision? Should I have moved with my family even though it'd make me unhappy and take me away from where my life is? I know God gives us choice but I can't help but think He wanted me to stay with my parents so they can heal their relationship. But I can't live with my dad, he is too controlling to me now and whenever I talk to my parents I feel so unhappy and horrible. They think I'm a failure. And I can't live away from my girlfriend or friends.
What do you think?

My life was exactly the same same as this and it was a horrible time. I like you felt like my world had been a bit of a lie because we are christians and this sort of thing shouldn't happen! Because of that I made the choice to do what I wanted to and stayed and it worked out really well I was able to keep all the crap at arms length and enjoy my own life with my friends. It was hard at first but a few years on everything is cool I've ended up in some amazing places and the different family situation suits me much better.
