Have you ever packed your bags and started a new life somewhere else?

Yes I have. I have moved to a different state and do not regret it. Life is so much better if you just move away from the place you want to leave. I suggest moving right away, do not wait. I moved from California to Oregon. Best decision ever.

If you left they would find you and resent you even more. They would see it as an admission of defeat. At times we all feel like leaving when we really need to stay around. If you feel your girls have been brainwashed, consider therapy. If that feels too extreme, a good old fashioned lashing will teach them who's boss. If you are against hurting kids, you could try to talk to them yourself and discover exactly what their issues are and how you can work together to solve them.

YES, I was living in Long Beach, CALIFORNIA with a Female ROOMATE (nothing romantic), and I had a long-time friend living in south TEXAS who wanted me to move there.

One day I came home from work, packed my bags, and told my female roomate that I was moving to TEXAS.

...and I've been here ever since...

wow you're brave! Make sure you are in good terms with your friend and get everything clear, the first few days will be ok but then after that its gonna be hard, make sure u have enough money and start looking for a job wherever you're going.

yes, three times, first moved from west midlands in the uk, to the west coast of wales, then moved from wales to spain, then came back from spain to east yorkshire in uk

Yes, I call it 'repackaging' yourself...it is difficult to do, but, it is possible, if you work hard at it the results can be spectacular....

Well sort of. It is OK up to a point.
