Hamster~thank you for your response, what you said makes a lot of sense.

I have never lived alone, never been away from home for more than a week.. I went to community college, and have only taken one vacation without my parents.

My son is 2, we would rely on full time daycare.. I work ALOT, and barely see him as it is, so it wouldn't be much different . But we would live close by to my mother in law in case of emergencies(like the baby getting sick or something). I have not been to a t in years, but I think going upstate I would begin again, like I said as a new slate, plus I'm sure I would need some support.

I also need to take my son into consideration. I hate to take him so far away from our family, he adores my parents and siblings and sees them almost ever day. But I feel like we can't give him a good life here. We would never be able to afford to live in the good school districts round here and this island is so congested and crime in my area has been through the roof.
