Moving interstate away from family - have you done it? Feeling guilty.

You only live once my love! And you need to live doing what's best for you guys, not your families.

2 years is nothing, and your families get to have a tropical holiday!

I will say though that it can be hard being on your own without support.

Pretty sure our families aren't stoked we are living in PNG, but it's an amazing life experience enhancing our lives for the better. And they get to visit somewhere different.

(good to see you around. )

We moved from Melbourne to Brissy 14 years ago. There are pros and cons and sometimes it is hard being away from family, but it was the right move for us and I'm really glad we did it. Only you know if this is the right thing for you, but if it is, go for it. You have to do the right thing for yourselves hun

I'm sure we have had this conversation before and I remember feeling so happy that you moved to PNG with 2 little ones, not because I wanted to see you go but I thought if she can do that kind of move surely I can move within Australia! I just can't shake this guilty kinda feeling I have!

Thanks MR - I think I just need to know that 'everyone' does it and it is the normal thing to do well, maybe not but it makes me feel better knowing I'm not the only one.
