Advice

Hi y’all , just want to say sorry for the long writing in advance. Alright so first a back story so hopefully y’all understand my feelings more. Growing up my family was dysfunctional. Mom and dad constantly fighting. Dad was mentally abusive to all of us. Mom got addicted to medicine so she was constantly sleeping or just out of it and you couldn’t have a conversation with her hardly. I never had a mother daughter relationship because of how she was, but she’s my world. As for my father I was never close with him because I was scared of him. It wasn’t until I was about 16 when my mom finally quit all the medications and started to be more of a mom. Which was confusing and hard for me because I was a hormonal teenager etc so I went through a little retaliation phase. Fast forward to now. I found out I was pregnant in November and my dad of course lashed out and said I was a screw up etc and said i Ruined his retirement etc etc he was upset as any father would be. My mom was disappointed because she wanted better for me (she was a teen mom). As time went by though we actually got closer. I’ve never been so close to my mom or my father. They’ve drastically changed. We had to move unfortunately about a month and a half before a gave birth and I was devastated because that would mean I’d have to be apart from my boyfriend. (We moved out of state). At the time my boyfriend couldn’t afford to get us a place , but now he’s found a place and even got accepted. I’m so excited to be with him , we’ve been together three years. The thing is idk how to bring it up to my parents. Seeing them with my son and how happy they are and how amazing they are towards me. It’s going to be so hard because now I feel like I have the parents I always wanted to have growing up, but now I’ve grown up and I have my own family to take care of. I know if I don’t go then I never will. My parents have never been more in love so at least I know that when I do go I won’t have to worry about my father being terrible. I just don’t know how to bring it up. Every-time I see them with my son and how happy they are it breaks my heart. All they do is talk about the things they’re gonna do with him.
