Overwhelmed...

I am moving back to where I'm from in 2 weeks. I'm leaving my job of 13 years, my friends, and taking my kids away from their schools and friends. My heart breaks for dd because she's leaving her best friend and preschool classmates, but ds has no idea what the heck is going on.

My last day at work is next Wednesday and I feel a lot of anxiety because these people have been my family for so long and have been there throughout all of the major things in my life since I've started working there. I have none of my family here, but am moving back to my family. I start to cry just thinking of the fast approaching last day at work and saying goodbye to my friends outside of work.

I know that life will be better with having my family around. DH and I will finally have those nights out that we so desperately need. We have noone here that we can leave the kids with and babysitters cost so much ($15.00 hr) so we hardly ever go out and it has taken a toll on our marriage. Moving will be financially better for us, too.

Just so sad to say goodbye.

  • moving is always terrifyiing, but it sounds like you'll have a lot of support that you dont have now.

    your daughter will be fine and make a new bf within weeks...id be more worried about finding a job you love.

    you do both have new jobs right?



  • We do have jobs lined up.

    All of this!  Good luck.  I know it's scary, but it sounds like it's for the best too.  And living near my parents - I can't tell you how wonderful it is to have that support network.

  • It is scary and sad, but it sounds like you made the best decision for your family.  You'll settle in, and soon you will be so happy you made the decision to move.  Have a great move!
