To Annie, please: In order to support my daughter and her family, I recently relocated to Colorado. Living in the city with them was difficult for me because I’m a small-town woman, but I really tried. To make the transfer possible, I even sold my house and everything in it.I’ve returned to my tiny village. I eventually moved back to Colorado because I was having trouble adjusting to the new way of life. I now regret leaving so much. The separation has been more difficult than I anticipated, and I miss my daughter and her family terribly.How can I deal with the fact that I regret leaving? I asked my daughter if I may leave her home and live somewhere else. “No,” she said. What ought I to do? — Vermont’s miseryTo the Miserable: Naturally, you miss your daughter and her family; anything different must be very alienating after sharing a home. Furthermore, I believe that her response to your request to move back didn’t help either.If moving to Colorado isn’t in your immediate future, you’ll need to continue to stay in touch with your daughter by calling, FaceTimeing, and visiting whenever you both feel ready. If not, see this as an opportunity to make your little town your home again. This pivotal moment is the ideal chance to discover new things and make new friends in a location that is close to your heart.
