To Move or Not To Move
At some point or another in adulthood we are all forced to make decisions that may alter or effect the way we live our lives. Sometimes these decisions are positive other times they are negative. Thought and planning are two of the most important factors that will help determine how things will turn out. I recently was faced with the dilemma of leaving my apartment which my son and I have lived for the past ten years and the two of us moving to a new area and new apartment with my boyfriend. This decision was very difficult for me and required a lot of thinking, time, and tons of both wanted and unwanted advice.
Dilemma
As a mother you want to make the best decisions for your children. In my case I always want to make the best decision for my child. I have a 10 year old amazingly wonderful young man, who is polite, helpful, a straight “A” student, and also the most important reason I began to weigh the option of moving. I moved into a two bedroom apartment the day after I brought my son home from the hospital which also extended an emotional attachment to “my space”. For ten years this was the place we called home. My son attended the same elementary school that I attended as a child, and was able to grow up and play in my parents’ neighborhood which is only a short distance away. While the apartment had its perks there were also many reasons that a move may be necessary. My son’s education has always been important, and while my son continued to excel in all areas I didn’t believe his current school system was challenging him. The area we live in also is not the most desirable. While there are very nice and quiet neighborhood much like the one my parents live in that are only minutes away, my apartment is in the heart of the city. There is a very busy railway one block north, a police station two blocks west, an ambulance depot two blocks north, and a fire station
