[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think I my kids moved away to get away from me, I would not move close to them.  Why would you follow them?  Seems like the relationship is already strained, why uproot your life for that.  I don't think it would make the relationship better.  And you will probably end up resentful that you moved to be closer to them and still not have a great relationship.  Look long and hard at who you are and try to address the reason why it is strained.[/quote]

Probably you'll see data showing mixed results  so weigh your options and then decide. You might regret moving there or you might regret not giving it a try. Being a caring parent to adult kids isn't easy. My advice would be to only do it if you can financially survive the hit of the move, without becoming destitute in your elder years.[/quote]

My parents moved closer to us in the last years due to fact that they needed help. They did try to be better people in the 11th hour, if only out of need. I mostly remember them at their worst. My kids saw us being decent to our elders in need. [/quote]
