Mistake to move near adult child?

Hi,
What a sad situation for you! It's hard when things don't turn out the way you would prefer. However, perhaps you should just let your daughter do what she wishes since she is an adult. It's too bad that she couldn't be more considerate of you buying a house and all. Can you sell your new home and move back to where your mother is? Your 82 year old mother might need you more than your adult daughter does. I'm 79 and I have noticed that at this age, your body starts to change and sometimes you need help. It doesn't sound like your brother would be much help to her. That's too bad that he seems to be taking advantage of her.

I would suggest that you give up all your problems to God. He'll direct you in the right direction. I'll say a prayer for you also.

I wish you the best.
PML

Thank you, that is so kind of you to say that you will pray for me. I also take my petitions to God and leave it in his hands. I didn't mention that she was going to move with me, but then changed her mind. She just couldn't leave my brother she said. We will never know what tomorrow brings, we can just live for today. Thanks for your help! It may be that I do move back at some point. Who knows. Best of luck to you!
