I just struggle with that decision because I know firsthand how hard it is to be completely uprooted from everything and everyonr you have ever known. Is it even fair to do that to him when I know what its like? I would be happier in SC but it would take a lot of work to save for the move and to live on our own instead of out of his grandparents pocket. |
Carmen you sound like a caretaker...not a bad thing..just make sure you take care of yourself too! It may be "unfair" to him but it also might help you enjoy your life more and could help him grow up if he doesn't have grandparents pocket so easy! Plus...maybe it would help you decide if this is what you want in life when you are closer to your supports! I wouldn't rule it out just because it might be unfair to him...you deserve to have some fairness in your life too! (PS..just know this advice is coming from someone who broke up with a significant other when he told her she could move in w him two states away but her dog was not welcome.
