Since they wont talk about it, next time you bring it up and they brush it off, just say ok I guess Ill just send you a postcard when I get there. Then drop it and dont bring it up again. My grandkids live 1500 miles away and I understand my daughter has to live her life. Dont feel guilty.

been there know exactly how that is im my parents first kid they have 4 i first told the one that im capable of telling anything first let it down easy but keep in mind its your life its what you want to make yourself happy its not that big of a deal to take a plane or road trip to visit either way it may be better (assure parent) due to the fact if you moved a few houses away it may get annoying being around all the time while you are trying to have a private life and what not and not want to visit so often but as you get older you realize how important parents are to you but they need to realize its your life they may have done the same when they were at that age.
it will also make holidays and events more special and you could schedule 2 or 3 times a year when you visit lol not including holidays :) good luck dropping the bomb hope everything works out

Don't feel guilty, It's YOUR life.
Do what you want to do with it.
Tell them that you ARe going to move and say that they can support you or not, but let's please talk about it.
Or first just talk to one of your family that have been most supporitive and talk about it with that person. Then ask that person to tell the rest of the family. Get people on your side and get them to listen. Call a family meeting. Don't be arrogant and listen what they have to say but stay firm with your plans. Maybe you can make a compromise.

Just tell them. When they tell you that you can't simply say that you are. They have been told and ignoring you when you talk about it is not going to change it. Then go ahead and move. That is probably what it is going to take to get them to realize that you are moving. Good luck on your adventure.

How do you tell your family you are moving far without them freaking out? Tell them from a distance. *wink.
