I'm not saying abandon them, I'm saying go be the adult your parents hoped they'd raised, give them reason to be proud. Seeing ones' adult children prosper and be independent is the greatest gift a prent can hope for

My parents live alone, a about 25 kilo meters away from where I am. But I visit them about once a week to see how they are keeping in addition to the telephone contacts that I keep with them. I am married and after marriage we normally prefer to live seperately.

I think it is a norm to leave your parents when you are already a grownup and have a family of your own.
But here in country our culture does not agree with this and I also can not afford to leave my parents specially they are now old and alone. This is the momment where we can show our gratitude and thanks to our parents who sacrifices most of their time to give us a good education and a better life.

Opportunity knocks only once, my friend.. So better grab it! You're parents will always be there for you. Who knows, if you get lucky in the place that you're working you can have a chance to invite your parents to move along with you.

If my parent were alive, I would go to work, and if they can do well for their self, it would be OK, to leave them alone. if they cant do well, I would hire someone to come in and take care of parents.

I would try not to leave my parents alone without of their children being at least somewhat nearby to be there in case they needed someone. My sister is living with them so if I did get a job farther away, they would still have one of us to be there for them. For a while, my brother and sister lived far away and I was the only one that was living close by to them.

When I was going for interviews for jobs, I only went for the ones that were close to home. I worked in the UK for 6 weeks but I had to come home because I was homesick. I stayed at home until I got married and then I bought a house close to my parents home. When they passed away, I bought a new house out into the countryside.

I moved from my parents home at 17. I did move back at 19 just before my youngest brother was born to help take care of him. I moved out again at 26 and then when I was 40 I contracted Flesh Eating Bacteria and had to move back home after a long hospitalization. That was in 2000, now my stepfather has passed away so I am staying to help my mother out. My youngest brother also still lives at home and he is 26.
I would like to move but can't leave my mother without help. She is still working but just had a hip replacement, has spinal stenosous (sp) and needs both knees replaced. I can't leave her to do it alone at this time in her life. We are not very well off and live paycheck to paycheck as do alot of people.
I also am on disability from my infection in 2000, so I guess we need each other.
