[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry to hear about your mom. I am in a similar situation and have also felt those strong feelings to move. While I don't really have the choice to move closer to my parents due to my spouse's job, I've made the choice to visit a lot more (thank you Southwest). Since I already work remotely it's easy to extend my weekends or even go mid-week and use early morning hours and late afternoon hours to keep up (my mother doesn't really get going until 10am, and typically has to nap mid-afternoon so it works out).

Anyway, that might be an interim step for you while you mull things over - even though the airfare will seem expensive it will be way cheaper than moving! Plus, you might find after a bunch of frequent visits that being able to get some distance is good. [/quote]

This is OP - I'm sorry about your situation, too. It's so hard. That's a good idea, to go visit more often and work from there. I'm sure my husband would be ok with it.

(To the PP who said Connecticut weather isn't so bad - oh man I wish that's how I felt. This would be a very easy decision if I didn't get so gd depressed when it's dark and cold. I've lived in that climate for a lot of my life, and I truly detest it.)[/quote]
