After 19 years, I am going back to my hometown.
I have been through allot during the past 2 decades, but for some reason, I am being led back home. My father lives there still, but is 80 and in very poor health. It just seems certain events in my life have cleared a path for me. Its strange. Like it was meant to be. Maybe God or whatever higher being there is out there, has made this happen for me. Maybe to care for my father in his last of life, or to save myself. To feel a purpose, a reason for life itself. My 16 year old daughter asked me that recently. what was the point of life. I didnt have a good answer. I thought, possibly love? I dont know. But, even if i only have a short time with my father, he will know how much he means to me and maybe that is why I am being led back home. Its scary, but I think its right. I pray that it is..

This must be a very bittersweet decision for you. I sincerely admire your wanting to spend time with your father.

Will this get you away from your mother, her husband and their issues?

Always worth a try so there will hopefully be less regret, more love and hopefully a bit of compromise and understanding. (((hugs)))

Hello, Yes, it will get me away from my step dad and mom. I thought my mom was going to change like she told me. But she is still with HIM and she can barely talk to me. Like she cant call unless she's out etc.
I really hope I am doing the right thing.
My daughter is NOT happy about this. She doesnt want to leave her comfort zone. I am torn about that.
thanks for caring

It is always hard for a well adjusted teen to leave his/her world. You are being led back to your father. Go, and take your daughter with you. Maybe you are being led there, not only to see you father, but to get your daughter there.
Besides the fact that she will get to spend time with her grandfather, maybe she is suppose to go back there. She may meet her husband there. You never know. She will adjust. She is young. She may move many times before she finds her "home" in life.
You dont have your father much longer. Be there for him.
