It's sort of a shock

Yesterday I found out my youngest sister is planning on moving back to Western Australia with her three kids, I understand her reasons as she must do whats best for the kids, but I'm going to miss her terribly. No more Friday night scrapbooking, no more getaways, no coffee, long phone calls or impromptu visits.
My dd is also really considering moving there as well, as there are no job prospects here. She's 21 and doesn't have a life, she goes nowhere, sees no-one, just stays at home and keeps me company, for which I am very grateful.
I will miss them all so much, my dd and I both cried yesterday whilst discussing the pro's and cons of such a move, and what it would mean for her.
She's worried about my mental state, who would be there for me if I had a relapse and went down again? Hopefully I did my best to convince her that I was okay and that things would be fine. I don't want her staying here on my behalf, there's nothing here for her.

Huge decision Elisa but, Jenni as you've said, we all have to do what is best for us at any given time.
We'll be there for you Jenni. I know it's not the same but we can, hopefully fill some of the void.
Good luck with the weight loss. I've set myself a similar goal to start a new healthier life style as of tomorrow.

Hang in there Jenni, you still have at least 6 months together and in that time your going to overhaul your health and will feel great and confident.

You all sound so close. It's really lovely

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU

And by starting a blog and building a community of support you will be reaching out to people who can be there for you too. It is tough when family move away.

That being said, my relationships with both my sisters have improved since I moved and now the visits are fantastic :D
