- Being afraid of losing someone (& projecting that on them with guilt) is NOT an act of love
- The Good about Moving Far Away as Young Parents
It turns out, so many people feel stuck in a place they don’t feel like they belong out of guilt or fears that have been forced on them. Because I know for a fact that the people who love me the most would never want me to feel that way. A year ago I moved to Australia from the UK, and over the past 6 months have had so much guilt for leaving family. Having just bought a home here with my Australian partner the reality of living so far away is officially sinking in. I know I wasn’t happy with my life in the UK,, and I am so happy here but I often think is it worth the hole I feel in my heart from being away from my family? They are so supportive about my move here, however I know they are so sad I am gone.
No one makes me feel bad about living here, well my gramma did, but we’ll get to her in a minute. I feel very guilty spending those days actually on vacation and not on trips home to see friends and family. I was very anxious about making the big step and leaving the only state I’ve ever lived in but honestly we should have done this a long time ago. I just selfishly wish my old friends and family would come join us, because I really do miss them. I am currently struggling with the decision to move from WV to AZ.
Get out of the house
By the thought am seriously this far from me family. As its my first time doing job abroad. Lets see how i gonna make thinks out. The surest way to ensure a smooth and trouble-free move is to leave it in the hands of experienced and trustworthy professionals. Just make sure you research your options well and find the best movers for you.
Despite it all, I don’t regret moving and I love it here. Being an expat is hard but we have to do what we feel is right for ourselves and our futures. I have a partner who lives in America and we’ve been together for 5 years and made several trips back and forth but the distance doesn’t get any easier or saying goodbye. When we use words like selfish and selfless we get caught in trap of being a judge and none of us are qualified to judge one another. It’s a massive decision to leave, and never taken lightly by anyone.
Surface Pressure: A Single Mom Anthem
Because so many people stay put out of fear or guilt created by the people who are supposed to love them most. Love shouldn’t feel like a weight holding you down. It should uplift you and fill you with joy.
If you are considering a move, consider the below pros and cons to living away from home. “I won’t know anyone.” “I’ll be alone.” These are two things you might be saying to yourself, but have you forgotten that God is with you? Even those tears that don’t come out.

It is an inconvenient period, may cost you extra money, and can take weeks or even months. If you are moving to a distant place, you will miss your old town, your friends and your family. In this article, I will discuss the benefits and drawbacks of moving out of your parents’ home. This is a decision I made when I was 18 years old, and I have seen many friends and relatives do the same since then. Other recommended reading for anyone planning to move far away and start a new life. It gives you the chance to start over.
It has been 4 years since I have started working and I have still not been able to move back home as there are almost 0 job opportunities in my hometown. I have no regrets about exploring, moving, traveling, and soaking up all there is in life. The guilt, especially now during the pandemic, is horrible. I am an expat living in London for 3 years now, and it kills me that I can’t go home right now and haven’t seen my parents in almost a year.
My mum is struggling being away from her family and has told me how lonely she is sometimes because she misses her family and doesn’t really see friends much any more. When I speak about my girlfriend and moving away potentially, she gets defensive and talks about money and logistics, but in reality she’s just terrified I will leave. The guilt of potentially leaving her here is gut-wrenching. I have even entertained the idea of breaking up with my girlfriend just to make it easier, but of course that won’t be. Hi CT, I’m sorry for the delay in responding, I took some time off to be present with my family since it’s the first time I’ve seen them in 2.5 years, thanks to Covid. It’s not an easy decision you have there.
Have you asked your mom how her family handled it when she decided to move? Maybe that will give you a connection to talk about it all, without the guilt. Or maybe you’ll find out exactly why she is giving you all the guilt. Leaving has never been easy, no matter how many times. Since leaving, I’ve been working on creating a more solid sense of self. In turn, I’ve found that my relationships have gotten healthier.
Being as present as possible in your new experience can actually help you acclimate better. When you're keeping one foot in your old home, you're keeping those homesick feelings alive. But the study found that college students who struggle with homesickness have a harder time adjusting to college, and a harder time making friends while there. Over the last six months, I have experienced and come to terms with all of these. Truthfully, moving away from home and living your own life on your own terms is the most challenging and rewarding experience I have ever faced. Moving away from home isn’t just something young parents might do.
You stated missing family is better than resenting them. Currently, though I’m closer in proximity, my relationships with most friends and family are strained. I’ve sensed fallen in love with an Amazing Man who leads with loving kindness and understanding. However, I’m wrestling with moving to be in my happier place and staying here for him. He stated that our love doesn’t have boundaries & he wants me well.
And I realize you might have already made it but in case you haven’t, my advice would be to accept the job. The worst thing that happens is that you aren’t happy and then you move back home. But the best thing that happens is it’s the perfect job of a lifetime and it challenges you to grow by moving away. Plus as you said you are only 5 hours away so you’ll be able to visit frequently. I know its not easy, and believe me, I don’t take moving away from family lightly. But i do believe in regretting the decisions we don’t make and the opportunities we don’t take.
