We moved to TN almost 6 years ago and I always thought it would be the perfect area to retire to because it’s in the middle of where we have relatives in FL and in NY, without the FL and NY taxes, however no one has come to visit us except for our son in laws mother who they are from the Memphis area. We lived in another area of TN before this so we became alittle familiar with the surrounding communities and where we live presently I always thought would be a perfect area to live at because coming from previously a much smaller town in TN we have a lot more amenities since then. I am very hurt though by my relatives refusing to come see us. A cousin in FL has even been known to fly up to NY to visit her son, yet hasn’t made the effort to come see me. A childhood girlfriend of mine who lives in PA once told me she would never live South of the Mason Dixie line due to how she feels the people are there. I don’t associate with anyone who I feel would be out to give me a hard time. (I have enough problems going on in my own family as it is at times.) We visited my younger brother in NY in prior years but he has never made the effort to come visit us. My only nephew lives there too. My husband and I are both from NY. It’s sad when the holidays are supposed to be about spending time with family and friends.
