adrian89 - I know exactly how you feel. Many years ago I moved to another part of the state when my then husband took a transfer. I knew it wasn't a good decision, but I loved him. We went out separate ways 6 years later and though my father wanted me to come home I felt I needed to be on my own. I had a job, friends and had started seeing someone. Plus, I didn't get along with my mother when I was 21, so I knew it wouldn't work being 27 and been married. Of course, as time went on I realized I really wanted to go back where I grew up. But, my parents moved to another state and I knew it would be difficult to find a job, a place to live and cover long distance moving expenses.
I continued to live my life though I was unhappy in certain areas. Finally, about 15 years later a job I had decided they wanted to transfer me to another office which happened to be in the area where I grew up. They covered my moving expenses and storage until I found a place to live. I had reconnected with an old boyfriend and I stayed with him until I found a place - we had moved to just friends.
The move came in 2003 and the economy started to slide. I have since been laid off several times as I was working in the insurance industry. I will admit I have sometimes wondered if the move back was worth it and most of the time I think yes, but in the down times I wish I had stayed where I was.
I'm sorry my post is so long, but just hang in there - things always have a way of working out - even when we don't think they will.
