How to move away from my family?
So I've been presented with the opportunity to leave home and move in with my boyfriend on the other side of the country. My town is really poor, there's no jobs here, there's no people here, and basically the only thing keeping me here is my family. I know that they'd be crushed if I left them, and I'd be crushed to leave them. I'd probably only get to see them once or twice a year when I'm used to seeing them every day.
I know that my mom and my grandma would be really heart broken and I don't know how they'd cope with it, and I don't know how I'd cope with it either. But I feel like they're holding me back. How can I cope with moving away from some of the most important people in my life, and help them cope with it as well?

I have been in ur shoes. I left home about 16 yrs ago bcz there weren't any jobs. I was also having poroblems w/my sister so that made it worst.
How are they holding u back? Are they telling you to not leave? Of course they wuld tell you something like that. The only thing u can do is tell them u have to go because u need to get a job and start making ur way in this world. You should also go to college at least part time. Without an education, u won't get that far ahead. Unless of course u start ur own company or become a hot shot real estate agent.
Tell them it kills u but u have to do this. The first year will be the hardest but u will get used to it. Remind them that u will call them and send pics. It will not be the same but u need to carve out ur life.
Have u thought about what culd happen if u and your boyfrend break up? What wuld u do then. Think about it before u make a huge change in ur life.

You desire a process. Earn the money till the rent is up. Then begin watching for a brand new location. Your kids should not be uncovered to the violence and the consuming within the loved ones. If they ask later in existence, Tell the reality. You're going to must be sincere. But, you are not able to be across the style of men and women who're careless and who've consuming and drug issues.
