I haven't been on the board much but last night I was skimming through GD and saw a thread by Serenity that invited me to click on the link. Why? Because I could relate to the title.

However, after reading it I realised that I would be better suited to posting my 'situation' here than it that thread cause...well... [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smirk.gif[/img]

This is my situation:

About a month ago, David was hospitalized for a week because he had a heartbeat of 180. Needless to say, I was scared. During the time that he was in the hospital, I was forced to look at somethings that I knew I had to change, but just 'couldn't be bothered with right now' before...

I hate my job. And this hatred is starting to affect my quality of life. I have become short-tempered, bad-humoured and more or less intolerable... [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif[/img]

I like the town in which I live. It's not too big and not too busy. However, industry here is seriously limited. And as ya'll know, I don't have a car [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70394-bawlout.gif[/img]

To get a better job, we'd have to move. I do not want to be travelling to Toronto everyday [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70400-talktohand.gif[/img] but I don't want to live there either.

So my Mom calls me up and tells me that she's giving a piece of land that was bequeathed to her, to me. David is pretty excited and is ready to move there right now (he hates his job too). My son is not too keen. As for me, I am ready to go home, but we haven't enough money to do so.

What do do??? [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/helpsmilie.gif[/img]

Re: Lawks

Ok.

Well that is a very big move. What would you do there for finances. What about David's health?

If it is JUST stress related then go but if a sinting more serious, the healthcare system may not be best equipped to handle it (aldowe suh lang as yuh have plane fare yuh can always carry him come back yah).

How ol is di pickney and will him adjust to school well dung deh?

Yeah the healthcare system I don't think would work for us. He has an irregular heartbeat (has had ever since he quit professional sport) and with its new tendency to accelerate, it makes it doubly dangerous...

I wouldn't want to risk having him fly to get specialised treatment... but he thinks I am making a mountain out of nothing...[img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70400-talktohand.gif[/img]

My son is 13. I think he would adjust well. He makes friends easily, he's smart and well rounded. But for some reason he's digging his heals in...

But its like jumping out a frying pan into the fire...moving because you hate your job to a place that you hate [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70402-thinking.gif[/img]

Re: Lawks

Re: Lawks

We currently live about a hundred km outside TO. There are folks who consider that 'close to TO'... and they use the Greyhound to get from home to work in TO everyday.

Four hours of travel. Lawd... And the financial cost: yikes!!!
