I like asking interesting questions that give a jumping off point for some introspection, so...

Q: Would you move to a far away (economically and politically stable) country to be with someone you loved dearly, if it meant possibly never seeing your family again?

My answer: ...probably yes. I love my family so much, but, I can't build a future with them. If I had to move to New Zealand to be with my new wife, I would. And New Zealand is a long, long, long ways away from California. Also, most of my family is so dispersed all over America anyway, I hardly get to see them as it is. I would at least get to see my wife everyday in the new country.

Would I still be able to have contact with my family? Like, could I call and write to them? If I could do that, then yes. I want a future with a husband and kids.

If I couldn't contact my family at all... I probably still would do it, but it would be a lot harder.

my answer would be yes. in fact, i can't wait to get away from my family.. it's complicated yet simple at the same time.

One of my male ancestors married a Choctaw woman from Mississippi and took her to live with him in Texas. Back in those days all travel was by wagon so the distance between TX and MS was a long ways. She had to leave her family to live with him. She wanted to go visit them once but her young children cried at the thought of their mother being gone for so many months so she decided to stay with them. She never saw her family again, cut off completely from her people and culture. She gave it all up to be with her man and her little ones.

I have such a close relationship with ALL my family, even more distant relatives.
And honestly i love my mom so much more than everyone else on this earth combined, i would never leave her for long. I could never love a spouse more than i love her. She is the only thing that keeps me going sometimes. If i were to ever try and recover, it would be for her sake.
