He lives in a really cheesy apartmnt and I know his new gf will be there and they spend all there time kissing and making faces at each othre and its really GROSS. I dont want to see my dad sticking his tong down hsi gf's throte its just too gross. I dont want to go I want to hang out with my friends instead. What do you think?

Well, if you are under 16 or 18, I believe you have little choice. You could have your mother take him back to court on yoir behalf, maybe you can get custody time with him reduced. It doesn't sound as if they are being adult like & not a good influence on you at all from what it sounds like. Best of luck to you.

Taking people to court must be the last resort to solve a problem especially when it is family.Your mother should know better than to force any child to do things against thier wishes.The one thing that will never change is the fact that our parents will always be our parents.

I think you need to grow up. Your father is your father forever. Your friends just seem to sleep with you, then leave you praying you are not pregnant. I notice the first thing you mention is that your father lives in a cheesy apartment. Maybe because he is paying child support for your spoiled butt? Go spend one day with your father. If the kissing is really that bad (which I doubt considering a teenager always considers a parent's love life gross), talk to your dad privately -- calmly and quietly -- about it. Go just one day without throwing a temper tantrum and complaining about how unreasonable parents are. Do I really want to know what kind of friends you have since you all seem to run around sleeping around, complaining about parents, putting boyfriends over responsibility -- WHILE LIVING AT HOME RENT FREE, BILL FREE?

that is a choice you have to make on your own.If you ndon't wanna see him then just call him and tell him Merry Christmas over the phone.

You could choose friends over family, but remember friends come and go but family is forever. If you feel your friends are more important keep in mind that say down the road you have financial problems. It's extremely unlikely any of your friends will help you (especially the one you said won't get a job to pay for the phone bill she owes her mom), but your family might if you don't alienate them. I notice you list your age as 22 on here, but is that correct? Sounds like you may actually be quite a bit younger between the issue of a friend having her mom take her phone away and you not wanting to visit your father and criticizing him and his girlfriend. Sorry, but something sounds wrong.
