Eight years later and my family still holds a slight grudge with DH because he "moved us so far away." Granted, initially our move was for 2 years for him to go to grad school, but then I got an awesome job so we stayed.
People suck sometimes. I hope they pull their heads out soon; try and focus on them just wanting you close to them - it isn't necessarily about you all coming back due to failure.
edit - I think I misread the last part - if there really is a God and he really does answers prayers like that he can kiss my ass. Ugh.

This made me giggle. I almost want to reply with "Well God doesn't give you more than you can handle, so you can handle us not living here anymore."
I can't imagine living so far away from family, dealing with doing everything completely on our own, AND having them give us crap for it. It's hard enough when they're supportive.

I don't blame you. No fun.
We are clear across the country from any family. Not the greatest, but is what it is.

They're just jealous. Don't take it personally.
Also, give me their names & I'll throat punch them for you.
oooh, please do it! LMAO that would be awesome!
