@amberpep Well, adjustment is not likely. I do know low income housing has a way of leaving us wondering what we are doing in such a place. I am not being uppity either. For me it is what it is and the best I can do. Working is no longer an option so I am stuck as well. Admire your spunk. I would much rather be somewhere else, but out of options. Do you daughters know how unhappy you are? Is their only reason for wanting you close merely to have you close? I am sorry for many poor choices I have made and now I no longer have any choices left. Sounds you are grieving your losses when you moved. I have no solutions or suggestions. I would that there was something I could offer. Seems rather selfish to me for family members wanting you to pull up stakes to live as you are now.

parus .... thank you so very much for replying ..... I really do appreciate it. Yes, the One and ONLY reason I moved here was because my 2 daughters live here and they hounded me for 5 years to move down to "be closer to them." Well, one works full time, and the other will start working next year when both her kids are in school. I'm trying to find a part-time job , but at 73, no matter how proficient you are, very few people want to hire you. Yes, I left a town I'd lived in for over 30 years, knew the town perfectly, had friends, neighbors, and a church I loved. Also I had my own condo, which I sold at a loss. I've been here 2-1/2 years now and it doesn't get any better ..... I look forward to going to bed at night just to get away mentally from it all. I go back to my old town every other week to see my therapist, 3 hour drive one way, and every 2 months to see my Psychiatrist to keep tabs on my meds. After 14 years, I'm not about to start all over with a new therapist or Psychiatrist, so I make the haul. Both my girls know that if it weren't for them, I would not be here, or stay here. I never thought of it as selfish, but you're right ..... it is, and was when they wanted me to uproot myself and move down here. Thanks again parus for answering.
