If your dad is supporting you, I think you need to listen to your Dad, I am sure he has your best interests at heart.
You cannot make everyone in your family happy or make your boyfriend happy about your moving away....timing is everything in relationships and even though you love him very much it may be time to move on, he can still be a friend to you if you are mature enough to work this out....that is your best bet in my opinion because long distance love affairs are very painful and usually do not last if they remain long distance...I am sorry to say this to you, but trust that you will love someone else in your future that will mean just as much if not more than this fellow, you have many years to grow and become who you will be, at 18 you do not really know yourself that well let alone your boyfriend.....He will always hold a special place in your heart, and who knows what the future will bring for the two of you if you stay in touch.
