Should I Move

Life is all about living, not simply existing or worse suffering.

Being able to start over in a climate that supports both your physical and mental health, as opposed to staying in one that exacerbates both is a win-win situation for all involved.

The real bone of contention is whether your daughter can go with you or if she must stay behind.

In every great drama there is a villain, a hero or heroine, and a supporting cast of comedic or dramatic characters.

In your situation, you are currently choosing to play multiple roles and you must decide which role is most important to you in this lifetime and then live by that decision.

Making enlightened and aligned decisions in life, based upon what is best for everyone involved, takes great care, compassion, empathy, and courage.

It’s easy to play the role of victim or martyr, however, it’s far more rewarding to rise to the character of hero – heroine.

The struggle isn’t really about your health versus your daughter, the struggle is about starting over with or without your daughter being with you 24/7.

You must address this issue first and then create your plans from there.

Where there is a will there is a way.

You have the ability to propel both yourself and your daughter forward, you just need to be resolute in your desires and intentions.

There are no easy ways out, and yet there are.

Only by walking through the fire do we fully understand and appreciate both the challenge and opportunity contained within each life event.

Surrender your fears. Listen to your soul. And do what’s best for you so you can do right by your daughter.

Choose mental and physical health over martyrdom.  Choose motherhood over mayhem.

Choose Peace, Opportunity, & Success for all involved.

Whether it’s shared custody, full custody, or some arrangement in the middle, when you’re open to the possibilities, life has a way of meeting you halfway.

And should it play out so, you don’t have to be physically present to be fully present in your daughter’s life if current circumstances prevent her from moving with you.

Equally important is for you to commit to your physical wellbeing and improvement so the collective you (you and your daughter) don’t sacrifice precious time apart at the hands of possible future excuse(s).

Everywhere you go, there you are, and while location climate can certainly exacerbate underlying health conditions, so too can one’s mental health and outlook.

So, be on your way to a new life with your daughter as the Heroine of your own story.
