Answer 1

Yes, I believe you should tell your dad that you are leaving. This is to acknowledge that you still respect him. Be calm as you talk to him. Tell him that you want to live with your mother from now on. Besides, you have the right to choose who you would want to stay with... And somehow, you might wanna say thank you for the things they have provided you during your stay.

Answer 2

I agree with Ella.  You need to be where you are comfortable.  This doesnt mean you wont still have a relationship with your Dad!  Be sure to let him know that when you do tell him.  

Answer 3

Don't tell him b/c he'll try 2 figure out a way 2 keep u there. I say this b/c I know how u feel except I don't hate my stepdad jus my actual parents cuz they make me a little frustrated most of the time, but I have 2 admit I'm a tad bit jealous of u. U can go away I have 2 wait 3 more yrs. b4 I get going

Answer 4

Yes, you should be where you feel comfortable.

You don't need to tell them you hated it there, but you can tell them that you miss your mom and want to move back. They may be upset for a bit, but they'll live!

Answer 5

You should tell your dad and let him tell your step-mom.  You deserve to live where you are happy and well cared for.  If that place is with your mom, then so be it.

Is there a particular reason you don't want to tell your dad....like he is one of those guys who gets mad easily?  If so, ask your mom to tell him.
