My family has been wanting to move back to Virginia ever since we moved to Florida because we missed Virginia, it was too hot, and we didn't know anyone here. We couldn't move back for a while because my father wouldn't be able to work there. I've been wanting to move back to Virginia, pretty much spenting my life just waiting for the last 3 years, but now I'm getting along better with the people at school, I've started to get into combined driving (carriages), and I like having the farm. Combined driving is sort of big here. If I move back to Virginia, I'll lose the farm since there isn't one in Virginia, I won't be able to drive my ponies as much, I'll have to sell 2 of my ponies (I have 4), I'll have to go through the whole making new friends again, but I will know some of the people. The only reason I want to move back is that I might like the other school better since I know some of the people. I have social phobia to a certain degree, so it's hard for me to make new friends. I don't know if I'll like the other school, but I think I might be able to really befriend some of the people at my current school. I have to make a decision soon because my dad has to tell the hospital that he will work at when he will go there. He has to do it at least one year before he works there. I can't decide what I should tell my parents. My brother and father like it here in Florida now, but my mom wants to move back. If I make a bad decision, it will probably put a lot of stress on me and I'll get really bad DR. What do you guys think about this?

I would start journaling every day about this -- you're already off to a good start with this post. Just let your stream-of-consciousness do all the work and make your hand available to it. Let it flow....

What exactly do you mean, just write about it everyday and see what is best?

"If I make a bad decision, it will probably put a lot of stress on me and I'll get really bad DR."

Does it all hinge on your decision? Are you saying if you side with your bro and dad that means 3-1 against your mom?

"If I make a bad decision..." have you brought it up with your family that you are torn between the two options and a decision is difficult?

In general, it seems like you are setting yourself up to take all the blame whether or not it works one way or the other.

I doubt it is only your decision to make. Talk to your parents, be open about it.
