If you're 18, there's nothing he can do to stop you.\n\nJust make sure you know where you're going to stay & how you're going to pay the bills, because once you're on your own - your on your own....  Good possibility you won't be welcomed back home.

Dad doesn’t have to compromise. He has every right to say NO.  You can go to court and ask for approval to move your child out of state.  You will have to convince a judge that it’s in your CHILD’s best interest to move and that it’s a significant enough reason to override Dad’s wishes.  How is you wanting to be closer to your boyfriend in your child’s best interest?  It’s not.  That’s in YOUR best interest.

Ask your dad what his major concerns are about you driving by yourself. then try to figure out how to allevate them.\n\nmost parents are scared that teens will have a lot of friends in the car ,or fiddle with their phones and music so much that they will get distracted and into an accident.\n\nask for rules or a contract say these are the rules and i break them theni lose my driving privliges. \nfor example i will not drive with more than _ people in the car or i will not drive more than 10mi over the speed limit or i will only drive to school, work, friends house or whatever.  just let him know you are willing to be responsible.\n\ntalk to some adults your dad is friends with who have teenagers that are allowed to drive and see if they will talk to him for you.\n\nalso don't go in there with an attitude.  driving is a privlige.  your parents or the state can take it away when they wish if you break their rules.

Try to be kind and understand that she loves your dad and wants to live a happy life.  She can be a great ally.  Being a step-parent can be horrifically difficult, she must really love your Dad. Ask her advice from time to time and really listen.  That does not mean that you have to take the advice, just that you value hearing her opinion.  It can really open up the relationship.  Take it easy, no need to rush.  If you rush, it is easy to make a misstep and get hurt feelings that can harm the relationship.

You may be right about him having Territorial issues. Just remain respectful, and hope that you can move out soon...\nHe doesn't have to like you, but I know it would make you more comfortable. However, you DO have to be respectful to him, to honor your mother.

Im sorry about your mom, it is okay to freak out, especially because your moms death is so recent. You still have 2 years left to think and eventually you will figure out that it is ok to leave your dad and your sister.Eventhough your sister is an "airhead" in two years she can grow out of it and im pretty sure she will take care of your dad no matter what.

Wee you need to let them know that you want to get closer. Parents tend to stay away if that is how they think you want it to be.  Try to spend more time with them. Go out to dinners, or make dinner for them.  Tell them you love them more and show respect. It may not happen right away, but it will.. Good Luck.

When they ask you to do something, do it right away.\nMake sure you are having a good attitude about it.  When a thought come into your mind like, "that's not fair", or things like that, push them out of your head.  When you start thinking that way, it will just make you mad at your mom, and dad, and you will not want to obey.  \nAlso, try to think often about the good things that they do for you, that will help you with your attitude, and will help you be more thankful for things.\nAnother thing you can do is tell your mom and dad that you love them.  Give them hugs, and thank them for things.  This will help you to have a better relationship with them, and will make you want to obey them.

i have been there and done that! first children will test you to see what they can get away with, do not let her do this! spend special time with only her, just have a daddy -daughter day, then tell her that mommy needs that kind of special time too, tell her there are things mom and dad talk about that she would not understand and that she is not to behave like this.when talking try and include her as much as you can, but you need to let her see you will not except this, she should grow out of it soon, but she  needs to know mom is not her equal, and that you love them diffrently, GOOD LUCK

You and your Mom don't get along? Is that something you want. Decide whether you want to keep her in your life and if so, tell her how you feel...that a relationship with her is important to you, etc.

What does your mom say? If shes on your side, then maybe the two of you can both talk to him.\n\nDoes your bf still live at home? Even if doesn't his parents could still talk to your dad.\n\nI don't think you should disobey him, even though you are old enough to be on your own, you are still living is his house.

If you really want to get along with her, try showing her the same respect you'd like to receive from her.\n\nIf you are trying to get on her good side, just to get over on her, you are just going to make it harder for her to trust your sincerity later on. \n\nHave you thought how this is affecting your dad. He loves you and his wife. What's he supposed to do stuck in the middle.

you need to tell his kids constatly that you dont want to take their moms place and you love him (their dad) very much and wouldnt hurt them by taking away anyone and that their mom will always be their only mom no matter what happens/ed.
