[quote=Anonymous]I haven't lived near family since high school. I have chronic pain where having help would be so nice and now that we have kids help would be amazing. It would be nice to have people to celebrate birthdays and holidays with or people we feel completely comfortable calling in an emergency.
The first few years are hard. You are still building your network. You have to get to know coworkers, find friends, find doctors, find activities. It is hard to start over. It does get easier.

I think you will be a little upset in either scenario. If you stay, you will be upset that it is such a struggle financially. If you leave, you will be upset that you are missing time with your family. You have to decide what makes more sense and what would make you truly happier. Don't let your mom's guilt guide your decision.

If your mom has so much money would it be easy for her to come visit you often? If you are making significantly more money, could you afford to come visit often? What do the long term finances look like in either scenario?[/quote]
