My UFO (unbelievably fabulous observations)

[hoosiermama]

I keep thinking of those scenes in "Sleeping With the Enemy" where Julia Roberts moves to a giant, old, beautiful house in a small town and everything looks wonderful! Ah, different circumstances...and that's a movie. Besides, she ended up shooting her abusive ex in the entryway and that would just mess up a house for me....

I think one has to work through one's crap wherever one goes, or it DOES follow you. I think I've done a fair amount of working through, and would continue no matter where I was, most likely. There's really no point in uprooting my daughter--who hates change anyway--to move somewhere visitation would be very complicated, only to end up with the same financial and relational issues I have here.
