Life in General!

Hello Everyone!
I have a little bit of a dilema here, and not sure what I should do! I was born and raised in New York, but because of certain circumstances (which are much too long to discuss) I needed to leave fast so I moved to Pennsylvania in 1991. When I came here, I found a completely different world from the one I had in New York. I left everything that I loved in NY (, family and friends) I started here with nothing. It was quiet and lonely here, I had one friend since she is the one that helped me get here, but my friend had a very big family and I did not want to intrude in her life trying to get my life back together. After being here for 2 months I finally got a job and it was a great thing because I was down to my last 20 bucks in my pocket. My family knew nothing of my wear-abouts and I couldn't tell anyone anything! The years past. I visited my as much as I could without anyone still knowing where I lived or what I was doing in my life. For the first 6 years that I lived here I worked 2 jobs 7 days a week aprox 80-100 hours per week so I could get back on my feet. It took me 10 years to buy my own home, It was hard and I mean really really hard but I did it...On Sept 11, 2001 It was my closing date on the house....My first house and it was all mine without any help from anyone. At this time I had a man in my life but, did not want any help from him, actually I would not accept any help from any man. With alot of work and money spent, the years passed again. It is now 2007...wow can't believe I have been here since 1991 (16 years). My house might not be a mansion but it is my castle and It is mine.
The thing is though. I am not happy! My are grown (Boy 25 and Girl 23) My parents are still in NY and my lives there. My lives with her boyfriend in Pennsylvania. I still feel lonely and want to go back to NY. Might seem dumb but even though I am older I feel like I am missing something. My parents are up there in age, Mom is not doing to well and I feel that I should help some how for all the years that I missed with them.
Am I thinking wrong, or should I just try and find someone in my life and live in peace? I can return to NY because the reason I left is no longer there!
I would like some opinions.
Am I just thinking this way out of guilt? Or am I just feeling like life is passing me by?

Thanks for reading my blog, yes my daughter could live her while I am in NY. I have mended things with my family in the last 5 years so there is really no strain as far as family. I guess it is more my fears of just living there even though reason I left is gone!

Fear is a emotion which stunts growth and living. The only way i know of in over coming it is straight through it with purpose.
If there is quilt.... then that to will weigh heavy on you later. may i suggest a extended holiday visit, this may clear the doubts and clear those emotions up.
We need people in our lives that know were we come from and what we are about, who better than family?

Many Hugs & More

Without going into a long detailed story, I originally moved away from NY because I had an abusive husband, which is no longer a threat since he moved back to his country and is banned from the US!
Thank you for writing to my blog.

Unique u are, but the times u have faced is not unique. Being born human brings the wrath of the gods via the provision of complexities in life. In our part of the world the saying goes that it's better to have brimful of problems rather than be a beggar with no problems. Family and belonging play a big role in human satisfaction. The feeling of being wanted. U remained without an address to people who luvd u for a long time. Getting back into the fold will take time. Do what ur heart desires and leave the rest to KARMA.

Thank you for your kind words. As of right now my heart says to stay where I am and help as much as I can with my parents when I can. I will see where the future takes me and just live one day at a time!

I have not been in the exact position you are/were in but I have had my problems in life.But remember one thing. You should try to help your family but when all is said and done and they have passed on. You will still be here. Therefore do whast you can but do not do what will leave you out and alone starting all over again.
