Which is worst, your dad moving to Africa (from America), or you dad moving in with his girlfreind?

At least with the girlfriend scenerio I have a chance to be with him, if he is in the area that I live. If he isn't in the area that I live and I only see him once or twice a year, Africa would be ok.  It all depends on the circumstances.

I am an Army brat. My dad is now a retired Lt Col. I've been to Ft. Meade in Maryland, El Toro in California, Keflavik in Iceland, Ramstein in Germany (which I am now at stationed in the Air Force), Mildenhall in England, and Ft. Lewis in Washington. I'm glad that your dad is coming home to you soon. Hope he enjoys his short break from the desert. God bless!

your dad might drive you crazy but if you say you cant move out theres obviously a reason why...like giving my mom as an example shes living with my grandmother right now because she needs someone there to take care of her or she will be put in a home so my mom took it apon herself to care for her...and my mom is going bonkers let me tell you lmao but she knows that my grandmother wont be here for to much longer so shes doing what she has to do...you only have 1 set of real parents so try to stick with it...talk to your dad,tell him whats bothering you...good luck

i think it is going to be really hard for you but you should just try to sit your daughter down explain to her the things of life what you are&#92;were going through.tell her its not the person but the heart.tell her ,her father was not a bad person but the things that were suppose to be between you and him were just not happening and you have now found it in this person. tell her to try to see your lady as a person you love and that loves you and not a female.

For your own metal health and well being you need to find a way to move. Rent a room with some other college students, check out the dorms, apply for grants and loans. Get a part time job.\n\nYour dad sounds like a very angry and unreasonable person. From the little you have said his treatment of your family is psychologically/emotionally abusive. The man sounds much like my own father. Moving out was the best thing I ever did for myself. Reading the book "The Dance of Anger" by Harriet Lerner helped me resolve many of my feelings about him.\n\nAbout talking to your GF, there are plenty of public computers. Your college should have some and your local library. Yahoo Messenger has a web based version that does not require you to download so you can use it on public computers.\n\nGood Luck and take care of yourself.

No. Her dad cannot do anything if she is over 18 because she is of legal age. \n\nHer dad does not own her. She is not his chattel property.\n\nThere are two things you can do to make sure your liability is minimized while she is staying there. \n\n1. Make sure she has health insurance.\n\n2. Make sure your father has homeowners insurance. \n\nThat said, her father can''t do anything about your girlfriend living there and just make sure nobody gets hurt. \n\nHope everything works out well for everyone.

I married my high school sweetheart b/c he got me pregnant. Not only did I put myself in a dangerous situation (he is a very violent alcoholic) I put my precious newborn in the same situation. It took him almost seriously injuring her to make me realize that a broken home wouldn't be the worst thing for her, but growing up with a father that might get too angry one day and kill you would be.

How about better communication?  You are with her Dad, she's probably a bit jealous.

YOU ARE IN A REAL BIND. I'M WONDERING WHAT THE CUSTODY AGREEMENT IS. I THINK THAT SHE NEEDS TO COME HOME WITH YOU IF SHE WANTS TO LIVE WITH HER DAD THEN I WOULD TELL HER SHE NEEDS TO COME HOME UNTIL THE APPROPRIATE ARRANGEMENTS CAN BE MADE. ON A MORE MOTHERLY NOTE I NO THAT THIS MUST BE VERY HURTFUL BUT SHE WILL REALIZE THAT LIVING AT HOME WITH MOM IS THE BEST ESPECIALLY SINCE YOU MENTIONED A GIRLFRIEND IT WONT TAKE LONG BEFORE THEY GO AT IT AND RESENTMENT WILL SET IN. I KNOW THIS MAY NOT BE OF ANY COMFORT TO YOU BUT I WILL REMEMBER YOU IN MY PRAYERS. GOOD LUCK

well, if you both are over 18, doesn't matter what his dad says.  He can stay and get an apartment with you if he wants.

Unfortunately both parents are in heaven, but my father, was more understanding, I knew he loved me dearly, he was a great father. My mother was very caring and loving, so when they were living I guess I'd have to say both. I know you said if they were living, but they still mattered at the time

Neither. I would have to say it depends how long you have been dating. I have seen people move in with each other that had a long distance relationship, it turns ugly. Remember if you or she moves a long distance you might regret it, being together all the time is different the just talking on the phone and seeing each other once in a while. I know because I left to college and it was better when I was far but when I moved back situation got worse with my boyfriend.\nBe careful and if you have cold feet or second thoughts DONT DO IT!!!!!!!!!!

I have dreams of moving to Africa.  My husband was born there, and we have spent alot of time there.  I love the people and find that being in America gets me depressed when I know how beutiful it is to be in a place with such wonderful culture.  I am very ashamed of the racism in America, and have never felt acceptance like that from the African people.

The man is a paranoid control freak, but he is still her dad.\n\nYou need to build her confidence up away from her home and show her what the real world has to offer and when she is ready to leave, help her to do it.
