Calgon take me away….**Edit
So my mom called me this morning at 7am to tell me I’m killing her by moving. 
She said I’m breaking her heart and she might as well be dead if I’m not here. 
Does she think this was an easy decision for me? Does she think I’m trying to hurt my family by doing this? My grandma called yesterday (my parents told her), and she basically gave me the whole spiel too on how Keira is the only thing that keeps her going and how she knows she’ll never be able to fly there and see us because the trip would be too much for her. She also said she doesn’t even care if she dies now because if Keira’s not here there’s nothing to live for. Okay dig the knife in a little deeper- go ahead. I know I shouldn’t get mad at them for being upset, but this is getting way out of hand.
My mom’s telling me too she can’t sleep or work, and anytime she looks at Keira’s picture she just thinks how she’s never going to see her again. Since when did I say I was never coming back home? What if I would of married someone in the military and I had to move all over the place? If we were going to be in another country, it certainly wouldn’t be Canada then, would it? This whole uproar of nonsense is making me ill. My mom and dad think Dave isn’t going to let me come home to visit and now they’re telling me he must of had this planned from the very beginning. Yes, my parents are officially insane. It really pisses me off that they keep blaming Dave for all for all o this. It’s because Dave wants to move to Canada, Dave doesn’t care about our feelings. HELLO it was my decision too. Okay I’m done. I need a hot bath and Calgon to take me away. 
**** To add to the insanity, Dave’s not sure if he is going to be able to get the two weeks extra staying there (at his current employer). It’s not his boss’ choice it’s the manager of human resources who decides this. If he doesn’t get these two extra weeks, we’ll have to get out of here by the middle of April.
That gives me less than a month to try and do all the crap around here. I have no motivation to do anything right now. We still don’t know if KPMG will be ready for Dave that early either. Dave wrote them to explain the situation, and they said they could work something out, but it still makes me nervous. I’m so stressed out about all of this. I’m worried about my family because I don’t want them to be so upset. I know it’s up to them now to work through their feelings here and just accept the inevitable, but I still feel awful. Please let Dave get the extra two weeks.
good grief! that’s insanity. it seems they can’t get beyond themselves. not everything you do is going to involve them anymore, you have your own family and must do what’s best for them. i wish they weren’t making things so hard for you. i’d be upset as well. hopefully after they realize these guilt trips aren’t working things will get better.

where ds you get your family from? in the past 2 weeks both sides have behaved in an extremely immature manner. stand firm, and refuse to discuss what becomes a whailing sesson, for what s gettng whailed is you. shame on them. what an exercise in detatchment this is!

that’s really silly that your mum and nan are saying those sort of things. surely you’ll come back to visit??! i think they just need a bit of time to get used to the idea, maybe you should step back from them for a beat so they can sort themselves out… xx

somehow we always manage. you just keep the faith, as the zen saying goes; chop wood and carry water and in all that you do, you manifest the faith that it will all work out for the best. and hang in there baby. you are going on a wonderful adventure and moving to a beautiful area. clean air, pure water, and intelligent people in the new community. (((hugs)))

i’m so sorry you’re going through such stress and unhappiness. i see both of your points – but i think your family is going a little too far in saying they’ll never see you or keira again. : i really hope everything just works itself out asap.

Oh my goodness. That really is over the top and dramatic. You have to put yourselves first though, and if Dave taking the KPMG job and moving to Canada is the best for you three, then that’s what you should do. *Hug*

ryn: Pretty basic medical exam is required. Blood test (for serious stuff like HIV), vision test, hearing test, reflexes, they ask you the normal sorta medical history stuff. I’m sorry your family is being so hard on you. Maybe you need to explain to them how they are just making this harder for you and that if they loved you they would try to support and encourage you instead of making sucha stink and making you feel bad about a move that you think would be good for your family. And HELLO, you can still visit!!! You’ve visited Dave’s family before, why not the other way around??

Your Mom sounds like me at 16, full of the drama. The death of them? How can they even be that bold to say stuff like that? (((hugs)))

i hope the gets the extra 2 weeks. are they legally allowed to ‘make’ him finish at a certain time? in ben’s and my job, when you leave depends on your notice period, and that’s the same either side – we both have to give 3 months notice. xx
