I just found out that my boyfriend's mother is getting a divorce from him step-father. He also told me that his mom is making him and his brother move. Not to another city, not another state, but to another country. Of course you know We really don't want for him to move away but its not up to us. His mother won't let him stay with his sister's (ages 26 and 24) that are voluntarily willing to take him in. An as I previously stated in the "I really don't know what to do" discussion he confines only in me. His best friend that he knew from his crawling day's doesn't know half of the things i know about him. He doesn't even want any one to know that he's moving(his best friend yet again doesn't know). How am i suppose to comfort him in his time of need when i really don't know how to comfort myself? I know, I know that's being really self centered but every time we are on the phone my voice starts to crack thinking about how such a beautiful thing could be coming to an end. What to do? I feel like i'm at the end of a dead end

Is he not an adult? Is his brother an adult? If they're over the age of majority, they have the right to make their own choices as to where they stay, it's not up to their mother. He should tell his mother to grow up and let him live his own life. I'm sorry to be so harsh, but it's the truth. If he doesn't show her that he's an adult, then he's inviting everyone older than him to walk all over him for the rest of his life.

What's the age of majority where you are? Besides, how can he move to another country unless he has family there willing to sponsor him? I know I can't move to the US from here, there are far too many laws that prevent me from going.
