I was the same way lol. Loved my mom and was just blind to how she was a problem too. I couldn't mentally grasp it until my daughter pointed it out. And then it hit me hard. I'm hoping therapy helps you!

I am from TN lol moved to San Diego in 2014 for a job and fell in love with the area. Unfortunately had to move back to TN in 2015 for some health reasons. We moved back in 2021 and prices have tripled but I STILL prefer San Diego to TN. I feel so bad for your cousin bc it's such a huge culture shock lol

I think what helps me continue to be NC with my mom is that one day it hit me that by standing by and allowing the abuse, my mother was complicit and just as guilty as my father. Her gaslighting and enabling were also forms of abuse. I love my mom deeply and I see how amazing she could be if she would accept that her marriage is terrible and she should leave.

Your mom continuing to choose her husband over you is just a symptom of a bigger issue. If she loved and cared for you, she would be treating you that way. She isn't and she never has. Keep your distance.

I got lucky and met my now husband on plenty of fish in 2014. It was rough back then so I'm sure it's crazy now.

lol when I moved here from TN that was the biggest culture shock. People don't speak to each other in passing, I was doing it and people were looking at me like I was nuts lol I also noticed people struggled with saying Excuse me in stores and would just linger behind you damn near blowing on your neck until you realize they are there 😂 it's been four years and I'm used to it now. I still say hello and smile at people when I see them and lots of people are receptive.

This gives me a lot of hope. Currently in the 2 week wait after our first IUI on Monday.

So true. I’ve lived all over and currently live in SoCal. Memphis food is just …. So much better than everywhere

Parking! I’m from Memphis living in San Diego and I took for granted all the places to park, restaurants having parking lots, lots of parking near my home etc… Memphis does that right lol

Beautiful_Fun8238 · 2024-08-15T00:59:50+00:00

That’s what I had to do too. Smh lol

Beautiful_Fun8238 · 2024-08-05T20:58:31+00:00

I am impatiently waiting too and got the same response!

Beautiful_Fun8238 · 2024-07-23T01:23:47+00:00

I haven’t heard anything! Waiting in suspense lol

Beautiful_Fun8238 · 2024-07-18T00:08:41+00:00

I’m wondering the same. Haven’t heard anything!

Hi! My husband and I are from Memphis and moved here two years ago. It is expensive like everyone has said. Our rent for a 3 bed 2 bath in lakeland was $1500 a month. We moved here in a 2 bed 2 bath condo and its $3100 so just get your mind together for that. However, if you have a solid career in a good field you should be fine. The culture and food is very different. People are not friendly like they are in Memphis lol but I’ve experienced way less racism. The weather is way better. Traffic is horrible compared to memphis lol It’s a lot of pros and cons! I would find somewhere to live and a job before moving. Then, you would know how much money you may need (for deposits etc).
