What, do you think it'd be better for me and my mom to move?

Okay so this is something I’ve been debating about for a while. I’m not expecting any perfect answers I just need some advice. So lately my mom was kind of considering maybe that we should move back to our hometown in Virginia. She has talked about always wanting to move back there for a while. We’re living in Goergia right now and she hates it here. I honestly don’t blame her. I sort of resented the idea of moving before but now I’ve been thinking about it and I’m beginning to really want it. I say this now because I feel that I won’t get any good opportunities here in Georgia and that I’ll most likely get the kind of positive things I want in Virginia. Most of my family live there right now too and the only downside about moving is I won’t be able to see my best friend as often but I know I could always keep in touch with her. I have just been finding myself very depressed lately and lonely. I feel I might get more opportunities to make new friends and to actually have a real social life if we move. My dream now is for us to move there in an apartment that is located in a city like place where I know that people are around. There seems to be so many cool places you can go to in this one area and it’s even near the beach. Compared to Georgia, that place sounds like heaven to me to be honest because I am desperate for some kind of change. Even the people seem to be nicer there. My mom did get a job offer there but it’s not working out right now for some reason. She keeps applying for jobs in both Georgia and Virginia. She was thinking maybe April or May after my birthday we could move but she’s not real sure. Right now it’s just about her finding a job. The school I would be going to if we did move is supposedly really good too. I’m just really confused. I wish I knew already what is ahead in my future. I want to move because I feel I won’t get anywhere here in Georgia. If we move there I feel I would also be motivated enough to work and make my own money. A part of it is also because I miss my family there. My question is what do you think is best to do right now? Do you think things would get better if we did move? Should I stop worrying so much? Sorry if this is a lot I just need some kind of advice. Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Answer #1

It’s not up to you, if you’re financially able to move. Your mom sounds to me, like she’s aware that having a job there first is important.

You’re going to have to kinda ‘go with the flow’ here…as it’s going to ultimately be your mom’s decision. Enjoy your friend while you can…knowing that you may not have her everyday in the future. It’s good that you’ve given all of this a lot of thought, and can see positive things in moving. Now put it away, and enjoy your life ‘as it is’, for now. Today is the only day we really have…tomorrow will come soon enough.

Let your mom know, that you’re supportive in whatever decision she makes.

To be honest, if your mom can get a job there, then I think you should move. If its really like what you say, you can get more opportunities and meet awesome people and be with family, then I think its great change. You will make new friends and can still keep in touch with old ones.

Make a pro and con list. it always helps me :)

Answer #3

Make sure you’re financially stable to move. For example, your mom must have a definite place of work before you continue with your decision to move. Also, you should start looking for an appartment you’d want to move into and that your mom is comfortable paying for. You and your mom both want to go there, if that’s what you want and if it would make you happy, do it :] Just get your finances sorted out first. This sounds like a good opportunity for both you and your mom, so I suggest you go for it :D Good Luck!

Answer #4

Everything babyguuul said is absoloutly correct, and I wish you lost’s of luck. You and your mom should just both be happy, that’s all that matters. A home is not a home, unless your happy, comfortable, and actually FEEL like your at home.(:
