I know people do it every day.. But just wondering if anyone is /was in the same predicament as me. I'm pregnant and my husband and I are leaving the state as he got a better job.. I currently live in NY and we are moving to FL. I'm very close with my parents and I have one child, their only grandchild whom they are going to miss dearly. I'm pregnant again and will be moving shortly after the baby is born. I feel so sad and depressed as I'm so close with my parents. My mom is literally my best friend, we go out shopping every week..She was crying the other day saying how bad she's going to miss us. Just wondering if anyone if in this situation, how you got through it?

It is tough but it will all work out. You will still get to visit and your parents can come visit you in AWESOME Florida. Trust in your husband as he is bettering himself for you and the children. You can still talk to your mom on the phone and through email. When you get to Florida start seeking out some mom groups so that you can meet new friends.
Good luck!

I went thru the same thing. I moved 12 hours away from my family and missed them so much. We took turns visiting often and spoke on the phone constantly. Unfortunately it didn't work for me. My marriage broke up, partly because he didn't understand how hard it was for me to be away from my family, I was gone 3 1/2 yrs.
It can work for you though. Keep your head up. Keep communication open with your family AND your husband. If this is something you have to make than make the most of it. Get a good long distance phone plan and learn how to save for frequent flyer miles. When you do see your family treasure every moment.
Keep lots of pictures around and talk bout your family ofter, especially to your kids.
Try not to get to down and make the most of the time you do have, be thankful you have such a wonderful family to support you. Good luck!

Our family is going thru something very similar. We have 2 kids and are moving across the US for a job as well. My parents are going to miss our kids terrribly as well. I look at it like this..........my parents have always wanted to travel and they cant right now because they have always helped take care of our children while we work, now they will have to do the traveling that they have always wanted to do so they can see the kids.....oh and us to, but you know they only really want to see the kids!!!!!!! But try and look at it in a different light. And right now your hormones are all out of wack and, so its harder for you than if you werent prego. Dont waste the time you have at home by being depressed............be positive because everyone needs positivity in there life. They say when you move away you tend to take people for granted less because the time you have with them is precious, and you will find that you may be even closer than you were before!! .........................Imagine the possibilities!!!

i visit be completely blunt right here, you're style of coming off as an *sshole. of direction she places her daughter till now you, it is her newborn it is regular. maybe you could stop harping on her previous plenty on account that she would not do it anymore. How did you get her pregnant and marry her if this could be a protracted distance relationship? additionally enable me get this promptly, you in basic terms married her because of the fact she is warm? You knew she replaced right into a stripper in case you have been so stricken by skill of it you could no longer have asked her to marry you. i could say take duty for what you have achieved yet truthfully i think of SHE and the toddler could be worse off in the event that they stayed with you. You seem very egocentric and that i think of you could pass to therapy or something. you could no longer have married her in case you probably did no longer love her. As for the age element you stated that particularly pisses me off. to assert that at 26 she would have the capacity to be finding previous quickly. Are you INSANE!? in basic terms some extra years and you'd be 26. Are you going to be a sort of adult males that usually cheats on his girlfriends for somebody youthful and "prettier"? it is despicable.

I would suggest you make arrangements before you move for your Mom/parents to visit regularly. It's a shame you are moving at a time when your Moms support would have been especially welcome. You will make new friends in FL and will have your Moms visits to look forward to. Try to think 'quality time' rather than frequency.

This is a tough situation. I wouldn't move, personally, but that is me. Family is more important than some job. God bless.
