What's Best for You?
By Relationship Barista Lissa Coffey
A member in Tempe asked: 
"I've been with this guy off and on for almost 18 years. I was more happy in the off, than the on. I recently moved to Arizona hoping it would help our relationship & our son, to make it work. It really hasn't. And now I am somewhere where I don't want to be. What should I do? I don't want to leave my son, but I am really unhappy and confused. Help!"
Dear Confused,
You should do what is best for you. What do you want to do? Clearly you don't want to stay with this guy. You do want to stay near your son. Is the move working out for your son? Can you make the move work for you without the man in the picture?
You don't say how long you've been here but it takes time to settle in and feel comfortable somewhere new. If you can make some friends, get a job, find some places to hang out, you might start feeling more at home.
I'd say give yourself 6 months and really make an effort in that time. If at the end of 6 months you want to move back to where you were, then go, and don't feel guilty about it.
Good Luck!
