[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom is one of those people who is never happy no matter the situation. Not including things from childhood when I didn’t notice this, more recently she has moved across the country and started a business, [b]sold that business and moved back because she missed everyone too much,[/b] then started a new business in our home state, was miserable for those three years with all the hard work it entails, closed that business as well, retired and moved to a lower COL but not too far away state, and has been there for a year now. She and my stepdad are very happy there and I was relieved that it seemed like they would stay for a while. 
[b]Now they are talking about not renewing their lease next summer and moving to Spain next year.[/b] Sounds great in theory, but all of her kids and grandkids live in the midatlantic/northeast US. Keep in mind she already lived on the west coast for five years and was miserable because she was so far away from everyone. I would love for her to move wherever she wants, but don’t see this working out long term. I won’t  say anything because she’s an adult who can make her own decisions, but I imagine after a few years of living in Europe they’ll want to move back and then will have to start over. All over again. 
And then she complains about always having a hard life. I’m much more of a practical person and think things through before making big decisions so this really doesn’t make sense to me. But I’ve realized that’s who she is and I have to keep reminding myself to ignore her constant guilt trips about being too busy to visit, etc. 
Sigh. Just venting.  [/quote]

Very logical.

Maybe...
