It's selfish to leave your daughter because you prefer another state. We as parents don't get to do everything we want to do.

Now you have to decide what you will do. I would try to find something you're happy with near your daughter.

And you are right to be concerned. My dad moved cross country when I was 13 and it was a major, negative impact on our relationship both then and continuing into my 30's.


OP here, my dad did the same thing and my siblings and I were all affected by this even to this day. That's why I don't want to make the same mistake with my daughter.


then move to FL when you retire, that is what most folks do here
