It seems that no matter where I go I'm surrounded by drama. I decided to move to PA as a financial move. By living here I'm able to live with my fiance's family rent free, while I work and pay off bills. I'm not able to continue my schooling until I pay off outstanding debts with ODU, so now I'm able to focus my time on working and spending quality time with my son and fiance, which I normally don't get to do. But my father on the other hand doesn't agree with me. If he had had his way I would never have had my son, in fact, he thinks that my schooling should be more important than my kid who relies for the most part only on me. He would rather that my fiance move up to PA with our baby and leave me alone in VA to work and go to school with no distractions. So I had to tell him today about my decision to move away from VA and of course he's not happy. He gave me the whole "You're ruining your life!" spiel. And now that I'm up here I'm finding out the hard way that my fiance's family is almost as crazy as mine. People getting kicked out all the time and druggies who try to make themselves look better by spreading lies and muddying up your name. It's tiring trying to defend myself from so many people that before now I've never met.
Where I'm from, I know lots of people and used to go out all the time, but having just moved to PA, I know virtually nobody. All the people I've met here have been lifelong friends and relations of my fiance. You'd think, since I'm a military brat and have moved several times, that I would be used to going out and making new friends. But this time is very different for me. For starters, I've moved away from any and all of my family members. But I'm also a new mother and have gone back to work for the first time in over a year.
