My Personal Poll

As you know, since i haven't been able to find a job in CA, I am leaving. I am going to go somewhere until my daughter turns 18, in May, 2012, when, hopefully, the economy will be better, too. It's just too expensive and jobs are too scarce here, where I really *want* to be.

But now, I am second-guessing myself. So I am taking a poll. Where do you think I should go? To the place where my daughter, Morgan, is, or somewhere near the Twin Cities, in Minnesnota, about 4 hours from where my daughter is, but where my friends, what family I have, and more jobs are? I will be able to split time with my daughter if I go to WI, but still be able to see her regularly in MN.

My maternal self wants to be near my daughter. But my gut somehow doesn't think that where she is is the right place for me, economically and job-wise and all that.

I think that it's interesting that my instinct is telling me not to live where my daughter is. And, I have a hard time with her Dad, but we are already in court and have attorneys and all that good stuff. He'd have to let me see her more often than he does now. It's virtually impossible to see her less!

Thanks for your treasured opinion!

Love,
Danielle
