[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is she moving to be be near other family, that has a plan to take care of her? Has she had a checkup recently including mini-mental exam? [/quote]
No on all accounts. Mentally she fine. Sadly Radom long distances move are her norm. At this age I think it's really a bad idea.[/quote]

Are you sure she is not depressed?  My SIL has a history with depression, most people don't know but we are very close so I am aware when she is experiencing s particularly bad episode.  Whenever she is very depressed, she moves, sometimes very far.  I think she believes the change of scenery offers her a fresh start to leave all her worries behind.  Problem is she's running away from her problems, which follow her because she doesn't deal with them.  So after the honeymoon phase is over of moving somewhere new, she moves again.  She just convinced her husband to sell their house, which was beautiful and they adored it, to move 60 miles away to an apartment, in 3 weeks time.  If there is no rationale for why she's moving, this could be why.[/quote]
