[quote=Anonymous]My spouse and I recently got the opportunity to telecommute full time.  We've been in the Washington area all of our adult lives and have seen how the area has grown and become high cost and high stress.  We've talked about relocating for a long time and now have done it. DC just finished freshman year in college.  We sold the house in March and have just moved to Richmond.  I was surprised how hard the transition was for our DC.  We waited until she finished high school and thought her year away in college would provide an adequate transition into adulthood that would make the adjustment easier.  It isn't!  She's coping but there were tears saying goodbye to the house and neighborhood she grew up in and her best friend.  We chose Richmond because it's still close to family and friends in Washington and significantly less expensive while still offering many amenities.  For her though it's never going to be home.  Has anybody been through this?  How do you balance parenthood with your needs/desires as a couple as your kids transition into adulthood?  [/quote]
