So my NSDH (not so D-grin) announced last week that he was moving to Florida for his company in March. We live in NJ. (where my family and friends are- my kids are here- they are growing up here- ages 6, 8, 12) None of "us"- me and the kids- want to move. No discussion- just "this is how it is". Long story short- he's had several (good) jobs over the years- last Nov he up and quit his job (did what we all dream of doing but dont because WE are all responsible adults) and didnt get another one till Feb- he didnt start looking till Jan. Anyway, what he does is not exactly easy to find- its a specialty manufacturing position so basically if he dosnt go, he's out of work again.
Sigh. I cant even bring my thoughts further than "I dont want to move". My daughter (12) does nothing but cry every time I try to talk about it with her. Im not much better. Its like a good hour if I can get through it without the tears....So much for trying to get through a day.........Dont get me wrong, I LOVE to visit Fla, and I wanted to RETIRE there someday. But not for at least till my kids grew up! And I sure didtn want to go there WITH HIM!!!!!!!!!!! Plus, I cant trust everything he says- he's just slipped around the truth too many times with me for me to believe every thing he says about the "perks" and salary. I can just see getting there and finding out certian things arent what they were supposed to be (like salary and company car, moving expenses, health insurance etc). The cost of living difference is such that once there, we wont be able to afford coming back up north.
My parents are devastated (they live nearby) as is my brother and sister in laws (they also live near by). Obviously he dosnt care- he hates my family...Mutual of course...If any of you are praying folk- please send a few up for me? Is God trying to tell me something? What?
Thanks guys.......Needed the vent...
