sit her down and explain to her that you are not happy living with her and you don't like how she is treating you. (Make sure you have examples. Say i think you treat me like a baby. Like when...). Talk to your Dad about this before and make sure he supports you if he doesn't tell him that you feel so lousy in the situation your in that you are considering running away. (Or feel like running away) Then if move to your Dads. Don't sit her down and then never get to your point be very strait forword.

At 15 obviously you are a child. If you really want to live with your father sit down and have a quiet conversation with your Mom. Bring up the fact that you two argue a lot and maybe a break would be a good idea.
I don;t understand about not letting you see your sister, is this a half sister? Running away to see your sister? Where would you go?

You and your mom are both in some pain. She has to take care of both of you now on her own. This is a lot of pressure on her, so go easy with your mother.
Is your sister in some kind of trouble? If she is into drugs, I can see why your mom might not want you seeing her.
You need to think hard about how tough things are for you mom right now. You should be her best friend. Start by being nice to her. Then at a good time, ask her
about how she is holding up. Do nice things to make her life easier.
You will win her over if you learn to love her and respect her. Getting things to go your way won't come from arguing. It will come from respect and cooperation.

First you need to know if your father wants you to come live with him. Tell him that you and your mom always argue and you would like to come live with him. Ask him if he would go to court with you and tell the court that he wants you to be happy and that you are not happy living with your mom and that he wants you to come live with him. In most states I think the age is 13 or 14 when you can decide for yourself which parent to live with just make sure it's okay with your father. Good luck

talk to your mom and explain it to her that you want to spend a time with your dad
and of course you should tell her whats wrong with her why you dont like to live with your mom tell her frankly and maybe the time you tell her she will be realize
