My dad is transferring to San Diego, California. He has been the one physically helping me with Bee for the last 4 years. My mom helps me, too, in every way, but she hasn't been living here in El Paso-she's been 3 hours away in New Mexico. I'm not proud to say I have been relying on my parents for help, but being a single mom without Bee's father, well, it's been a real blessing. I'm incredibly grateful. Thanks to my parents I was able to complete my BFA, which is something I am extremely proud of.
So, I have a decision to make. I have been in a (sometimes complicated) relationship with a man I love for the last 10 years, but he may not be able to provide me with the same kind of support with Bee that I would need. He has a revolving schedule, my current work schedule is mostly afternoons and evenings...you see my dilemma.
I will definitely have to look for a day job wherever I am. It won't be easy here in El Paso-the job market here is slim to nil. I'm pretty sure I would have more success finding a day job in San Diego. So, I am asking myself if I am going to have to relocate and leave my relationship behind. We may not have a perfect thing going on, but Steven has been my partner and my best friend for the last 10 years.
My dad leaves in 3 weeks, and I have to say, although I will miss him, and even with all the extenuating circumstances, it still really feels like it's going to be a positive change. It feels like a giant open door for my entire family. My brother is already in San Diego, and my mom has been wanting to experience life somewhere beyond this desert southwest. I wonder where me and Bee are going to end up? I have the course of this summer to decide.

Wow Mia, those are big changes indeed!
ReplyDeleteI am certain that everything will work out great for you and your family!
Sending you positive energy,

Dear Charlyn! Having your positive vibes and warm thoughts means so much to me. Thank you so much. xo
DeleteMia, I know how hard it is to move to a new city (new country for me) and everything that entails. I can't imagine what making that decision must be like for you when it involves leaving your partner behind. One thing I have learned about life, you've just got to do what's best for you -and obviously your Bee- and be happy with the decisions you make.
ReplyDeleteI hope you figure it out and can stand by whatever you decision you make. Love and hugs to you xoxo
Hi, Amanda, I am holding your words very close, you're right, my friend, you are absolutely right. Thank you so much. xo
