Dear kris:

I understand you wanting to move out. Reads like an excellent idea, as soon as it is possible for you.

I see graduating school as a priority. I hope you can accomplish this sooner than later. I see this as a high priority.

Regarding your stepmother’s involvement in your relationship with your girlfriend: reads to me that she didn’t tell you directly that you must break up with her or move out, but instead it is your father who told you that she said so.

Did you hear your stepmother say anything about you breaking-up or moving-out or did you hear this from your father?
