Thank you for the reading. ....and wow, that is rough.
In general, we're hoping the move is a positive. We want to move outside of our small city to a smallish landholding where we can homestead and have some room to take in a relative who needs help. The negativity for me comes in because the town we currently live in voted to allow businesses to discriminate against people like us last year so I don't want to live in the city limits any more, give them my tax money etc. So yes, it is emotionally complicated but I feel a strong pull to a bigger, better place for us. We moved here decades ago thinking this would a good place to ride out the decline and it turned out to be dangerous to our family. It felt like a loss for a long time.
