Those Relocation Blues!

I have a friend, a mother of two.

She lives in the city, but is facing relocating to a relative backwater, all for the sake of her husband’s job.

Her children,both in their early teens, won’t be happy to move again - they still complain about the last move 3 years ago, and they are far more into their friends than last time, so she is keeping the relocation secret until the very last minute.

She’s not being selfish or devious - she just can’t bear the thought of putting them through another major relocation - so soon after the last one.

Plus she has her own career, which she loves, and is heartbroken about leaving her job.

Do you think my friend is alone in this relocation scenario.

Unfortunately, too many couples forced to relocate experience similar reactions - the children resent the move, the spouse might not find suitable work, That the relocation costs are much higher than they’ve budgeted for, that they don’t like or don’t fit into the new community, or even that the cost of living is so much higher in their new situation.

In this situation, all you can do is do as much research as possible into the full implications for everyone in the family before commiting to the relocation.
