Unfortunately there isn't much you can do but go along with it. Your parents may have many reasons for moving that they aren't telling you. As your dad lost his job maybe they can't afford the up-keep to the apartment, or maybe bills are too high. Moving to a new area may open up all sorts of doors for your parents and you.
Your dad may be able to find another job, your new house/apartment may be easier to pay for even with a limited amount of finance.
It is always distressing when you move, especially as you say you have loved ones and meetings and such like. But just because you're moving away doesn't mean you'll never get to do those things again.
Your loved ones can keep in touch, by phone, email, letters and even webcam now thanks to technology, so they won't miss a thing.
As for your meetings, maybe in colorado you can go to some there and meet new friends?
It's always scary when meeting new people and starting again, but once you've jumped that first hurdle all the others seem to get smaller as you go along.
You need to think positively, not negatively. So many good things could come from this move so focus on those, not the bad things. Look to the future, don't dwell on the past.
Just because you're moving away, doesn't mean you'll never get the chance to do the things and see the people you've always been around and love.
