You are fifteen and legally have the right to decide with which parent you live with. Given that she is a fit parent you can live with her...Screw your dad, you have a right to know your mom.

Actually legally you do not have the right to say where you live, the court does if the parents cannot agree. The judge may take your feelings into consideration, however, a lot will weigh on whom you have lived with and why you live with that person.
My suggestion would be to ask your dad to go to a public place to chat with you, most likely it will be easier on both of you. Let him know that you love him and that although he has always been there for you that you feel apart of you is missing. Let him know that you understand his efforts in trying to protect you, however, hearing about her and knowing her in reality is different. Listen closely to what he says his reasons are, before you ask if he is okay for a lunch date with your mom. Start small, this way if dad is right you won't have to be with her very long. On the other hand, starting small and building something makes it all the more special. Hope this helps:)
