There was a time not too long ago when my mom, sister and I all went to live in North Carolina. It was back in the summer 2007 when my mom and I both went to live there. Almost two months later on labor day weekend, my sister came to live with us because of her job situation just working at Old Navy amd she didn't have enough money to get a place on her own. It was significant because I was away from my father and we were all away from our cousins, my mom's nieces and nephews. I was away from everyone on my dad's side of the family. We didn't really have any close relatives that lived in North Carolina. The closest one o my aunts were was Ft.Lauderdale, FL; still pretty far from North Carolina. We didn't stay long in Concord, NC and eventually moved back home around late August 2008. My mom really came to regret our move from the beginning.

We moved from the city area out to the county, we only have a few family members out here now. We do get many visits though and this does seem to help some but just not enough really. I like to go visit with my Mom's family seems like more folks there somehow, and now that I am communicating more with my biological fathers family this has helped in so many ways too for me. Just living so far out in the country in such a small town you do feel left behind and very isolated too. Depressions and anxieties are known to kick in as well here too. You must be able to take one day at a time here even one moment at a time sometimes there is just a much slower pace of life here. I do miss the city life for just closer stores and places inside to work out too. It is not as cold there too we are by the Mountains here very chilly. Perhaps I do need to make a friend here, just want for a very open mind person not sure just were to find this here though. You never know someone else in this very town may be thinking these same things too though. I am keeping this hope alive for the future here maybe. Then this person could enjoy my family as well too here.

It was my job which took me far away from my relatives. I had to concentrate on my career, to be able to support my family. Yes, we certainly miss one another so very much. But, we do keep in touch always , by phone , by emails , and by snail mails.

The worst was a whole year spent halfway around the world from family and anyone I knew except for my husband and my daughter. There's an old song my mother used to sing that goes "My footsteps carry me away, but in my mind I'm always going home." I think that's true of many of us. We go as life leads us... but we are always going home.

No i have not been away from my family that long. I have not been living in a dorm wheni went for college, and i live with family all the time and even now that i am working, i am still with family so i guess i won't know the feeling of being that far from my family.

I think this is so hard for many different reason's really. Your home and family environment is very familiar to you in all ways you know these people and this place in so many different ways that are comforting and even fulfilling to you. Then you go to a place where nobody knows you you know nobody else, and you don't know any of your surroundings there either at all. This is very scary and even intimidating to you and could take years or you may have to move back home if it is just an impossible adjustment for you now. Having been so well off where you were before and now there is just so much more of the struggle all the time. If you have seperation anxiety and depressions these can become much more intense now too making getting through the day seem nearly impossible at times too. This is what I have observed with my own self being away from home for long periods of time, and with others members of my family as well too. Thanks,A.B.
