I have wanted to move from my home in Tennessee to Oregon after visiting a friend there 3 years ago. The climate was great, the oceans, mountains and forests are beautiful. The schools are a vast improvement over the failing school system where we live. On the other hand, I'm a single parent of a 4-year-old child and would not have the family support out there that I do here, and I am also worried that my son will miss his grandmother terribly. She has been an incredible help to me while I was finishing college and they are very close.
Besides those two very important issues, I'm really not sure where to start in the planning...anybody have any advice?

you should ask your grandmother to come with you, not on the basis of having a babysitter, but tell her that you and your son will miss her terribly and would like her to come with you. I am also a single mother and would like to move to Florida next year when I am done with college (I live in Boston burrr). I say start with looking online for a place to live and a job. Do you work where you are living, maybe they know the names of some companies that are where you want to live. Maybe they have another office there and you can just be transferred, ask. Also since you have friends there, you might want to ask them to look at apartments for you if you cant get there on a regular basis. Good Luck

It will be hard to start over in a new town without any help. You should move if you like but see 1st about your child's care while you go to work or school. Your child will suffer awhile without the familiar surroundings and his grandmother. Think about the move and your child. Sometimes we can't change things we want because of our childrens well being.

You sound like a very good mother. You son will probably miss his grandmother, but you should not have to sacrifice your own happiness. It would be better to move him now that wait untill her starts school. Things will be hard at first, but you sound like a great person who will make things work and would do anything to make your son happy.....Good Luck!

i'm doing a similar element precise now despite the fact that my baby is eighteen and avoiding to varsity. i'm having to step out of my enormous convenience zone as I actually have a house almost paid for. I too have not got a activity precise now. it is common to sense what you sense. be attentive to for a actuality there are a number of accessible who desire to do a similar element yet a pretend experience of risk-free practices (familar places, family participants, domicile paid for) prevents them from doing it. My Aunt is like this. She needs to go yet is afraid and is so depressing. Face your worry and run precise into it. flow with your gut. If it feels precise and you're excited appropriate to the possibility then concentration on that. I had an 'components sale' to eliminate almost each and every thing I own different than photos and uncomplicated necessary. Nest week the domicile is going on the industry. i'm everwhelmed, excited and afraid too, yet i be attentive to i could try this and it feels precise. each and all the terrific to you!
