I wanna go home!

Hi ladies! I had my baby about 2wks away and I think these hormones are making me crazy! I cried about being home sick while still pg and now I'm crying post partum...it sucks!

We moved to Texas last Feb. since then my brother has had a child, I got married, I had a child and now my brother is doing his official wedding (they're married but they are doing a big wedding now), my oldest child is turning 10 soon, my baby sister is getting her drivers permit...all these major things are happening in my life and that of my family and I'm not close enough to be there. I hate it!

When we moved to TX it was with the understanding that we'd be here a short time while DH attended school than we'd move back. Somewhere along the lines DH changed his mind about moving back and didnt consider it a big deal. He thought I'd be fine with it. He isnt close to any of his family, he can go weeks with out talking to his parents. I on the other hand am VERY close to my small family and cant go a day with out calling, texting or emailing one of them.

And now I feel trapped in TX. DH has all these dreams of starting a music career (which he feels he couldnt do in FL) and finishing school and is determined to do so. And I feel like its my "duty" to support him and tough it out. AND I feel like even if he would leave we'd never be able to afford to move our things and/or find jobs and a place to live in Central FL...the economy there sucks! I cry about this all the time. =(

First, congrats on the little one. He's a cutie.  Can one of your relatives come visit you for a little while to help out and so you won't feel so homesick? I would probably try to talk to him and see if he'll listen to how you feel and maybe y'all can work something out. You may want to talk to your ob about ppd too. (((hugs))) Hope everything works out and try to enjoy that baby. I wish I had more advice for you.

I had to feed the baby, sorry for the late response! And thanks!

My mother is the only one who can afford to travel right now and she wont settle on a date for when she's coming to visit. I tried talking to DH about this earlier while running errands. It was an easy going talk where I made light of certain things but I made it a point to tell him that I REALLY miss my family and I even miss some of his family. His only reply was "I'm not close to any of my family".
