Has anyone moved to another city to get away
Hi, I'm new here. I am wondering if anyone has moved to another city to get away from their situation? I am a 37 yr. old female, married with two children 3 and 5. My dad died 13 yrs. ago from liver cancer due to his alcoholism. My mom is also an alcoholic and I am at my wits end. I confronted her 5 years ago when my son was born. No good came of it and I was able to let go a little (realize it was her problem and there is nothing I can do about it). However, the effect her drinking has on my family is taking its toll (ruined Christmases, birthdays, vacations) and my children are starting to notice things. I do not want this to negatively impact my children's lives like it has mine. Sunday was the last straw and I have suggested to my husband that we relocate to a new city to get away from this. I love my mom but I do not want this to affect my family any longer. Has anyone else moved away and did it help?

I've moved away several times and each time it worked. I'm running out of cities though.
I have finally got my life situated so I don't have to move anymore. Yipee!
I distanced myself from my parents for 10 years and it helped me a lot. I still saw them every couple of months and it worked better that way.
Hugs,
