    Here we go, moving, agian.

    Oookay. So, I was supposed to be moving pretty darn far away with my mom and grandma. Out to Byron, IL. But as of lately I've started to think it's not a great idea, my mom doesn't care if she is away from her family she just wants to be near her new boyfriend. She doesn't care if she just drags me and my grandma along. But me, my sisters and their kids are everything to me. The few friends I have are here, as are the reptile shows I love so much.

    So, I am going to be moving in with my aunt & uncle in Hinkley, IL. Total hicktown (which is fine with me ) . I am just freaking out how to break it to my mom, things are going to get ugly I plan on making the move in the next week, I get their whole basement. Which is nice. My uncle is even going to help me build some new racks for my kids

    But, wish me luck. I just know if I move with my mom I am going to fall back into that dark hole I am still trying to climb out of. I'm 21 years old, and have grown up a lot faster in life than some people my age have had to. I had no other choice, but I can't live with that woman anymore.

    Yeah, I still don't either. She is just going to get herself in the same mess she did with every other boyfriend and I am not going to sit around and get caught in the middle of it anymore.

    Re: Here we go, moving, agian.

    I've read your posts about your situation recently. I have to say, I think that moving with your aunt and uncle is a MUCH better idea than following your mom around. I don't know you or your situation personally, but it sounds like you will have a lot more respect and a better home life in general once you're away from your mom and her bf. Maybe in time she'll figure it out for herself, but at 21, you need to be free from that drama... So congratz on making the tough decision, but don't forget that this is what's best for you right now and stick with this choice...

    It's one of the biggest choices I am going to have to make, I've followed her around for 21 years with all her different boyfriends that turn out all the same. She has started drinking lately, with him so that's another warning sign to me. I fit in really well in my Uncles house-hold, and I know all this major stress will start to fall away.

    One of the most painful things though, is my mom has never said I love you to me. When she gives me a hug, it's ackward and she acts like she doesn't even want to be touching me

    Your family will be the people you choose to make your family--not those who are simply related by blood.

    It's definitely time to get away from that sort of influence. Sometimes it's easier to love our relatives when they're not so close by.

    This is soooo true...

    Good luck with the move, and telling your mom. If she does blow up on you just take the higher road and walk away. Not your problem once you move out anyways.
