We have been long distance our whole relationship and I love where he lives and my family is the only thing keeping me in my hometown. I am so scared about missing out on what they are doing and especially scared about missing out on my niece and nephew growing up. This has been the most helpful thing I’ve read regarding this transition in my life.
You don’t have to go that drastic—even something as simple as finding a favorite breakfast place for the weekends is a positive step toward putting down roots. As your new traditions become commonplace, so too will your life away from home. This one hit home for obvious reasons and I am so grateful to you for writing it. My own parents immigrated to America and my mother’s mother never let her forget just how far away she went. Because of that, my mom has promised us that we can go as far as we want to without fear of any guilt-tripping (a promise she may regret making now!).
Get out of the house
At the end of the day, you’ll have to make a choice like I did. But I’m just as with my family now as I was before. I text with my mom daily and facetime once a week. It’s so difficult to move away especially without the support of your family.

Surface Pressure: A Single Mom Anthem
And now I’m feeling guilty that I had left. My parents and I had an understanding that they wouldn’t need me to take care of them when they got old. My sister did and my parents have long passed away by now.
My main regret will be not raising my 2 yr old daughter close to her aunts that love her very much. They get angry and snap at me even at the smallest mention of us moving anywhere remotely far from them. I just have to do whats best and Manhattan is not it. It’s not an easy decision to move away from family.

The schools are great there is little to no crime and it’s only 15 min from the beach what else can you ask for. The problem comes in with my family because this place is 3 hours away from them, my brother will be able to visit but my mom not so much maybe a few times a year if that. The other issue that has started is my mother in law lives 2 hours away and they are trying to make it seem like I’m choosing her family over mine.
You are right, grief is brutal no matter where we live. I can’t keep it together when I’m leaving. I full-on hyperventilate and ugly cry. I treasure the time spent back in the US and look forward to that quality time every year. I know they are letting the MM2H’s in and they only have self-quarantine, so hopefully, that will change for you soon. I agree, that Malaysia has done a remarkable job to reduce the infections and take care of people.
Do I Regret Moving Away From Home?
My sister had a husband to help, and unfortunately, my parents didn’t like him. Also my sister adopted two kids and my parents didn’t like them either. I didn’t want my nephew to think of me as his grumpy aunt who argued with her husband all the time, was overweight and drank too much. That was the life I saw ahead of me in Florida.
My mom had a pacemaker operation 1 month ago and it’s the last thing we needed at such a sad time already. Now I’m leaving in 3 months with my sons who my mom is very CB lise with. I’m riddled with guilt, it seeks as if we’re all disappearing from her life and I’m worried how she’ll cope with all of us gone. She’s happy for us, that we gave a new adventure on the horizon but the price she’ll have to pay is high. I’m so incredibly sad, but it’s not an opportunity I can pass up on. It’s a once in a life time opportunity.
He saw mountains and snow and waterfalls and dozens of animals for the first time. Getting to see his eyes light up at each new adventure is something I’ll cherish forever. And I know that gift of our time and sharing one of our favorite places with him is something he will always remember. Something I found very interesting is that Greg was chosen as the cultural practitioner for his family at five.
Not only that but God can use change to work in you and to bring you where you need to be. I am not guilty because this has always been my and my husband’s plan. I love it, though my siblings are accusing me of abandoning them and I realize it is their problem as they learn to adjust.

This is a lesson I learned the hard way. Asking about the new place to the grocery store cashier or other people you meet at random can speed up your adaptation. In any list of pros and cons of moving out of parent’s house, financial planning of the whole process should take priority place! Especially if you are moving away by yourself. If you are going to live in an unfamiliar place, there will be a learning curve until you adapt to the local way of life. You will eat at bad restaurants, take the wrong buses, and so on during this time.
