i need advice on how to talk to my dad?

Question

Me and my boyfriend are planning on running away tomorrow. I don't know how to tell my dad. Could someone please help me? Its not my dads fault we are running away, he is a wonderful dad. Its my boyfriends mother. My dad loves me and my boyfriend. I don't want to hear ' well don't run away then..' because thats not what im asking for, i just need help trying to figure out how to tell him. I am 18 in a few months if that helps. Anything will help me thank you.

Answer 1

Running away means that you don't tell anyone so basically your leaving. Wait until your 18 hun then tell him that your LEAVING with your bf...

Answer 2

I hate to say this but if you are "running away" you generally don't tell people that you are doing that.. do you and your BF have money to live on your own? what makes you think that you can make it out in the world? Have you finished school? You really need to ask yourself some serious questions before you just up and leave. there are no good jobs out there if you want to get a good one you need your education. Is running from the Bf's mother the best answer? I mean if you are going to be together you can't run forever... How are you going to get a job? I know I know you love him and will do anything for him, but you are still young and things change.. So make sure this is what you really want to do...

Answer 3

are u sure your really ready? your only 17 and making such life changing decisions can affect others as well as yourself, think of your poor dad, you will be breaking his heart. why doesnt your boyfriend just move out, he could even move in with you for a while. im sure there are many other options that would get him away from his mother. however u really need to tell your dad if u decide to leave. tell him u love him more than anything else in the world but you love your boyfriend too and explain the situation. just make sure u tell him! i once almost did a very similar thing to you with a guy i thought was the love of my life, he used to talk of getting married and our children and everything so i never thought we would end. i gave up university and my family for him and after a couple of years we ended up breaking up which left me with nothing. maybe just think about what u are doing before u do it because u are still quite young and naive.

Answer 4

Thats horrible ):



Welll, if youre almost 18 youre pretty much considered an adult, so if youre planning on telling your dad that youre "running away" id say call it somthing else. Just tell your ad that you need to talk to him about somthing serious. And than just say that youre going to move out with youre boyfriend and explain to him the situation.



You know he is going to try and convince you to stay but tel him you value his opinion but its youre life and you are old enough to make youre own decissions.

Answer 5

Wow, that sucks. I would run away a couple of hours away at least and then just tell him you're leaving. That way he can't really talk you out of leaving because you're already gone. But make sure you tell him it's not his fault and that you love him and how he can get a hold of you!

Answer 6

I'm not saying don't Run Away, but ask your Dad for enough money to get a apartment! Then tell him why. Good Luck

Answer 7

I know a man whose daughter did this and it broke his heart. You need to be asking his advice - not telling him that you're leaving. Running away from problems never solves anything.

Answer 8

since your 18 your not really running away, well...in a few months you'll be able to move out legally, i wuld just tell my dad how i feel,it sounds like yall have a good relationship. its time for you to ove on anyways, i just hope this is what you really want, and you are finacially capable.

Answer 9

Why do you need to run away? Is your boyfriend a nasty fellow? Why would you be running away if your father loves you and him too? That doesn't make sense.

Answer 10

no pressure, but i think you would break your dad's heart. there must be some way to still see him and avoid your boyfriends mother! if anything, wait until you're 18. make sure this guy is worth it.

Answer 11

just stay with your dad
