I was faced with the same choice almost 5 years ago. We moved from the town that I'd always known to Victoria. On top of that, we lived with my in-laws for a couple of months. We had no jobs when we first moved down here. I HATED IT! I hated leaving my mom, my dad, the only family I really have. I hated it even worse living with a$$ backwards in-laws. I was ready to leave my husband and move back home with my kids.
It does get easier. I don't get to see my dad or mom as much...my mom did end up moving about an hour from me. Yes, I still miss home, miss the places I would go to, miss my friends. When one door is closed, a window is opened.
It's not easy and I won't lie and say it is. But you need to do what is best for your kids. I won't say that I love everything about living down here, because I don't...but I wouldn't go back "home" for anything. This is my home now. |
