I understand that this is tiring and exhausting for you and I think you should ask your parents to have a talk about your situation.

When you are older that 16 years old you have the right to deside what you want and where you want to live.

It is possible to find other solutions that will be better for you. You could stay a longer period on each place so you dont have to pack your things so often, or you can choose to stay one place for a longer time. If you choose to stay with your dad, you can tell your mum that is has nothing to do with who you love most, because you love your parents equally, but you need stability and to feel comfortable when you are home. Maybe you feel that is difficult when you live so close to your mums boyfriend if you dont know him that well?

Maybe you could make a regulary appointment with your mum so you could talk and see eachother without staying with her?

You have a right to deside and to be heard. Tell them how hard this is for you and that you need them to listen and try to understand how you feel.

Good luck.
