[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - I went to HS in Alexandria but then came back to raise my family in Vienna. It is just a toxic environment for me (as an adult) and my kids- our son hated it here and never wants to come back meanwhile the other kid got all trying to fit in and screwed up. We are still working on this 2 years so far since we left that area. I know we both had careers that were dependent on that area so we had "no choice" but I wish we had just left much earlier. As for living in the south- at least there is a strong movement to keep family, religion and other values. There were none in Nova- i moved from spain and religion went out the window, family as well- it was all down hill. This is not unique- I see so amny families we were friends with with kids moving away from core values. Anyway- just wanted to vent since my family is still suffering from living there- and we are not alone.[/quote]

Honestly, your experience sounds very personal to you. Religion went out the window? That's something you are directly in control of.[/quote]

True but in the 90s the churches were packed and it was a nicer community.  The same churches now are still doing a lot for families but it's just a much smaller group of people even though the population has increased.[/quote]
