*sigh* It's not that easy...

I think you know what would be for the best. Remember that your happiness is an important factor in your decision, but you should also consider what would be the most rewarding and beneficial for you in the long run. Take your time, think it through... maybe talk to your parents about it. I'm sure with a little time you'll come to the right decision. Good luck!

Well what other factors are you considering?

The reason it’s not easy is:
Even though now I have nothing to loose, I shiver only in the idea of leaving my homeland. I can’t imagine myself anywhere away from Crete. Call it bond, call it whatever you want, but well… I guess it’s in my blood…
I still don’t know what to decide… I say ‘That’s it I’ll go!” and the next minute I’ve changed my mind… And talking with my parents won’t help. My dad would be joyful (I guess) but try talking with my mom about that…
She used to say it to me for something like a threat.
“If you don’t like it here, just go away and live with your dad, if you’re such an ungrateful kid”
And when I said “Maybe it would be better for everyone since I only make your life worse and worse” she played it hurt. Who is she kidding, really? I can’t talk seriously like that; it turns to yelling, anger, banging doors, slaps, bruises and sometimes tears…
It’s just not easy for me to take a decision… I guess I’ll wait a little more…

 

Rye: LoonaticsF is 12 1/3, so she hasn't graduated from high-school. Which probably isn't even called high-school in Greece.

LoonaticsF: Like Rye said, moving to your father wouldn't mean leaving Greece forever. You could move to England and live with your father, and live your life free of your mother until your old enough to move back to Greece and start a new beginning there.

I say move. I understand you love your homeland, but if I've pinned your mom's personality down right, I'd move with my dad. I love my trailer park, and my trailer, but I had to move because of my sister. And if your mom calls you ungrateful, SHE'S the ungrateful one. She was ungrateful to have a daughter(? Sry if ur a boi.) in the following ways:

1) From my understanding, she's mistreated you.
2) Slapping? Bruising? WTF? O_o I hope you're the one doing the slapping!
3) If she was really grateful to have you as her child, well, see previous thread you created. She'd see things our way. I think you deserve it.
4) Your mom is a freakin' drama queen. She's playing your emotions to get you to stay so she can yell at you or somethin'. My grandma's the same way. She's going to sit there and kiss my ass, turn around and call me lazy or something, then when I get upset and say something like what you said, she's all "I can do it by myself!" and then she's back to kissing my ass to get me to stay. >_> Damn, I'll be glad when I can move out on my own...

Note: I understand I get a little dramatic sometimes, but I'm not a drama queen. My sister is the drama queen- I HATE drama with a passion. How she can live like that I don't understand...

It's better for your emotional health to move out, IMO. As they have already said, you can move back anytime you want. However, it's still you choice, and I won't berate you or anything if you don't move. It's not my call to make, and whatever decision you do make, your friends at LUO support you.
