I Am Sometimes Selfish

My mom told me she just got the teaching job that she's always wanted. And I should be happy for her but I'm not. A couple years ago, I thought we would be moving to Connecticut for my dad's job but now we're not because he can work from home where we live. Now that my mom has a job, moving is now out of the question. I was looking forward to it because I thought we could move north and I could follow my dreams. I know I'm in my twenties so that means I [i]could[/i] move out when I want but I don't make enough money to live on my own nor can I afford a car. So unfortunately where my parents go, I go. I was just hoping that meant leaving town.

As someone who grew up in CT, you're not missing a ton by not being there.

Ah... yeah in that case CT would have been an improvement. It's hard feeling like you're stuck somewhere that has nothing for you. Save your money so you can move out eventually, I guess?

@KingofPizza: Right. I'm trying my hardest to do that.

Yeah unfortunately it's not a quick solution, unless you can apply for some kind of job out there and get them to cover some relocation expenses?
Save your income tax refund and perhaps take an additional, part-time job and save for your own "moving" day. Best wishes, young lady.
