If you find a good job here it is.
It's far enough from family, but not too far if you need them/they need you.
I want to thank you for advice!! I have a goal and thats to be in the area before school starts!! My daughter is ready for the move and so am I . I know I can make it!! Again thank you!!
What is it about Charlotte that is causing you to want to leave? Just make sure Raleigh doesn't have the same characteristics, or that Raleigh has whatever you thinking is "lacking" in Charlotte. It is or is not a "good move" based on how much you plan, research, and use information and prudence in moving (like anywhere).
What might make you think it is NOT a good place to move (since you asked the question in the first place)?
Well I have done alot of resesrch and the school systems are way better than Charlotte and believe there is more oppurtunity I feel in Raleigh!! And im also ready for a change in life!! And im far enough away that if my family needs me I can get to them and they can get ti me!! I also have been in the same situation here in Charlotte over and over again not saying it cant happen in anywhere but im ready to try!!
Lol!! I wish it was because they enjoy my company!! Its more controling!! Yes its good to have my daughter family!! But its time for me to make my own decisions. Thank you for the advice.
My mom moved to Raleigh from Greensboro as a single mom when I was 5. I really enjoyed growing up here, and I think that she would say it was a good decision. However, now I am 18, and it is difficult when my Dad's side of the family expects me to feel at home in G-boro. That is not home for me anymore. So, not having family around might give your daughter these same problems later on, especially if she still sees her father (not sure about your specific situation). I do think, though, that you are right to say that you need to start making your own decisions. I wish my mom had made more decisions for herself instead of solely for me. Good luck wherever you decide to live!!
