Im a 15yo girl and back in february my mom kicked me out. she kicked me out for a couple reasons: we argued almost everyday, and my room wasn’t clean.
My parents are divorced so my dad and stepmom happily took me in(thankfully) and i have a very good relationship with them. i have a good relationship with my mom and stepdad but i just don’t want to live with them for many reasons: my sport is much closer to my dads(10min compared to 30min at my moms), my dad makes amazing food that’s really healthy and balanced for me, my bathroom doesn’t smell like dog piss and my brother, i get along much better with my mom now that i’m not with her all the time, my school is closer, my friends are closer, my job is a bike ride away not 30min, im so much healthier than i was at my moms, and many more.
My mom has been asking me to move back in with her and has been getting my grandma and stepdad to do the same thing. i still see all of them on a regular basis(every week day when she picks me up from practice and a full day on the weekend) she’s still really upset that i won’t move back in with her though.
I have talked with her many times and explained my reasoning on why i like my dads much better and she’s seems okay with it at the moment but then gets very upset about it later and explains to me that the goal is have me back with her. i don’t understand why i have to stay with her when my dads house is much more convenient.
so am i the asshole for not wanting to move back in with her?

You are definitely not the asshole. She is just lonely. That’s why. Or she misses having you there bow that you are not. If your mental health and life is better at your dad’s then that is where you should definitely stay. Your families feelings are not your responsibility. They need to take care of their own mental health.
Be firm with your mom and let her know you will not be moving back.
