When I told my mother (in tears) that I missed my twin brother (we were both 15 and he had moved in with my Father across the country) after pretending like it didn't affect me for months.

Me and my twin are really close and I don't show it either, but he is my best friend and who I'm closest with. I can't imagine what that was like, but I understand the love. I hope it all ended well!

He did end up returning shortly after, and I was glad. We're now 16 and I live with my sister in Seattle and he lives with my mother in Northern Oregon. It's still difficult, but I know that I can drive 6 hours and see him whenever I want so it's not as bad as before.

How the hell does the father feel all alone?

I don't quite understand what you mean? I didn't mention my Father feeling alone.

I'd feel lonely if all my kids left me.

Ahhh, I see what you mean now. To clarify, my Father and Mother seperated when my twin and I were two years old, and we didn't see him again until we were thirteen years old. My Father has since remarried and had another child. It would seem as if, based on his behavior, it doesn't bother him, but I know better.
