Note: this isn’t validation seeking or anything, I’m genuinely worried that I may be in the wrong in this situation. 

So my parents divorced when I was at a really young age. I’ve been living with my mom ever since, seeing my dad every other weekend, if that. 

It was fine when I was younger, but now my mom is starting to get a lot more sensitive about everything I say and say that I hate her. Once or twice I’ve asked where my brother and I will be for the weekend since plans change, and she’s blown up for it, yelling about how I’m disrespectful and need to grow up. She also freaks out when my social anxiety affects my life. 

I’ve been able to deal with it for a while, but now it’s been coming to the point where I’m drained of energy after talking to her and try to interact with her as little as possible. 

I’ve brought up living with my dad a couple of times, but I’ve always been talked out of it. It would make the schedule difficult, as my brother wants to stay with our mom and not leave. She wouldn’t be able to take me to family events -Christmas, thanksgiving, those sorts of deals- as easily, and the commute from here to my dad’s house is a lot of driving. 


TL;DR: I don’t enjoy my current situation with my mom and would rather live with my father, but that would spark a lot of issues with time management and schedules.
