Hi all I am in a bit of confusion here -I will try to keep this post as short as I can..
When I was very young my mom and dad split up, I spent my whole life wondering who my dad was when I was 16 I found him ( went through alot of family members to do it ) anyway after a few months of talking on the phone I moved to GA to get to know him I left EVERYTHING behind all my household things gone.
After getting there he seemed to care less if I were there or not I stayed in GA for a few years meet DH, but after awhile I felt like I was not even a part of his family ( dads ) so me and DH moved back to NM.
I kept in contact with my dad and one of my sisters, and things have been fine, I decided to get chickens about the same time they did ( niether of us knew it at the time ) so now through our love of chickens me and dad have been getting to know each other better - he even wrote me a 3 page letter. ( of course mostly about his chickens LOL ) but now the letters are sounding different - he is talking about how he is sorry he treated me like he did when I moved there to get to know him , that if I moved back things would be different this time, how he wants myself, my sister and him to raise chickens together as a family.
If I move back to GA I will be leaving behind my mom, step-dad, and 17 year old daughter - along with friends and all my flock here.
DH said he is fine staying here in NM ( but I know he would love to move back to GA - ALL his family is there )
My mom gave me the " mom " answer do what you think is best but I would hate to see you go answer.
The little girl in me that has always wanted to know her dad is screaming MOVE BACK ,
So I turn to my BYC friends and ask - what would you do? please dont be afraid of giving the" wrong answer " I am just looking for different points of view, and advice.

the other plus to moving to GA -just think how many GA BYCers I will be close to LOL
