Sharla Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 There is a very good chance that I will be moving to another state within the next year, I haven't really decided yet but I'm starting the process now to prepare myself. My mother lives in another state and it's not the state I am planning on moving to. I am afraid to tell her, because I know it will cause a rift between us because she'll want me to move closer to her. I can't transfer jobs to where she is and the state I want to move to, is some place I've always wanted to live and I have friends and a few family members there already. How can I tell her without upsetting her? I mean I know it will regardless but I'm just trying to think of how/when I should tell her, if it should be when its definite or wait a bit.
bubbles5 Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 Just tell her thats all she is ur mother she will understand. Tell her that ur career is also important. And u can visit her during holidays. Just tell her she may get upset for a while but later she will get it.
green_tea Posted March 21, 2010 Posted March 21, 2010 I say tell her right away.. she might be hurt if she finds out you didn't tell her for a while, even if it's not definite yet. And this will give her more time to get used to the idea and accept it. Maybe she could move there too? Good luck.
New Again Posted March 21, 2010 Posted March 21, 2010 I would let her know now what you're planning to do, stress that it's not definite yet, but you will let her know when you find out.
