I moved interstate around 4 years ago with my spouse. The move has been mostly positive however the last week nostalgia has absolutely plagued my evenings. I start crying and feel a knot in my chest because I miss my family back home and I miss things from when I was a kid, like going on family vacations or even just playing dolls with my sister. I can see my parents getting older and I dread the time that I won't have them in my life anymore

Moving back isnt an option, and this feeling only really hits when the sun goes down. I haven't had a proper nights sleep in a long time. Help please?

Hi y'all.

My husband and I moved interstate around 4 years ago for work and a better quality of life. It was a hard decision for me as I am extremely close with my family.

For the most part we are doing well in our new city. Our careers are pretty good, we have a nice home and our pets have settled in. Plus we really enjoy the scenery around us.

At night however, I struggle so much being away from my family. I call them every other week or so but its just not the same. Every night my heart hurts knowing my parents are getting older and im missing out on time with my sister.

Moving back isnt an option right now, there aren't really any jobs going in our home town and the city nearby is really expensive. Any advice is welcome!
