Hey Sophia Jones, I need your advice on this situation I'm in. My mom and dad are getting a divorce and they said I could choose who I live with. I don't want to hurt my mom and choose to live with my dad, but I don't want to hurt my dad and choose my mom. I'm really close with my dad, but I love my mom. I don't know what to do.

Hi! I am happy to hear from you, you can email me at any time! Personally, I think you shouldn't worry about who you will be hurting. As bad as that sounds, I think that you should worry about yourself. Your mom and dad will love you either way. You are in a difficult situation as are they. Go with your gut, and in the end everything will be okay. It's very natural to feel the way you are feeling. I understand that you do not want to hurt your mom or your dad. You need to remember that they do not need to be taken care of. They are adults and should be taking care of you. If you know that the best place for you to live is at your dad's house then you should make the best choice for yourself. Or maybe vice versa. Be strong and lots of love,
