All of a sudden... the whole world opens up...

So my (48F) youngest son graduated from high school a year ago and I decided to move closer to my dad (70) and in with my long time, long distance boyfriend, from Oregon to Michigan. This has been the best relationship I've ever had with my dad in my life. My sister saw that and has decided to move closer to him as well.

When I moved it was with the agreement between my guy and I that we would move someplace that had mountains and waterfalls, etc. ASAP. The relationship isn't turning out to what I expected or what was communicated to me. People close to me are urging me to get out. I started thinking about moving back home and it gives me a feeling of relief and hope and happiness that I didn't realize I had lost somewhere along the last 13 months. I realize I don't necessarily have to move home... I could move wherever I wanted to go.

I've been a single mom for 27 years and now I don't really need to be in charge of anyone aside from myself.
