I moved 2000 miles away from home when I was 21. I loved my parents but they are very controlling ( esp. my mother). 4 years after I moved away I got married and my husband's job moved us FURTHER away (all the way in Hawaii.) My marriage got off to a very rocky start and I made the error of calling and confiding in my mother on a regular basis of how miserable I was. About a year into our marriage, my parents decided to sell their home and spend $10,000 moving their belongings to Hawaii to be near us and retire. I was working full-time, my husband resented their prying (which I had opened the door), needless to say it was a very uncomfortable situation. They moved back after only 4 months. Mom constantly reminds me that it's my fault that it didn't work out, that my husband is a jerk (he was but we are very happy now). Now she wants us to move closer to them "because they don't have anyone"-all other family have moved away) Am I a bad daughter because I don't want to live near them?
