Good Idea?
I haven't seen my mom in 8 years and she wants me to go live with her when I turn 16 and I think it would be better than living here with my step-mom but I don't wanna leave my dad and he be mad at me forever. I also don't wanna live in Arizona but it would be better than this shit place? Is it a good idea to go live with her?

You need to make a list of the positive and negative of living with each one. How do you know if you would get along with your Mom? 8 yrs is a long time. Maybe go out there for a visit and see how it goes?
I would visit her for a short trial period and see how things go before making a permanent decision.
I agree with vinlin and Kiwasicu. Consider visiting her for an extended period before contemplating a move. Based on what I've pieced together (and please correct me if I'm wrong), your mom had an alcohol problem at one time. Is she completely sober now? Maybe see if your dad and stepmom would allow you to have a lengthy visit with her. That way, you can make certain you aren't leaving a bad situation for an even worse one. Hugs.
Thanks for that. I have asked my parents but I am not allowed to see her but when I turn 16 she was going to go back to court and try and get me back. I think is still drinks but not as much.
So sorry you are having to deal with that. I hope you can figure it out. What do you want to do? What do you think will make you happy? Stop worrying about everyone else. You really don't ever seem happy. I think that you should pick the place where you feel the most safe.
I want to live with my mom. I think it will make me more happy. Thank you carlyj.
Then you should do that!
