Tell me what you think. Well wait… let me tell you what I think, first, lol. I think that if I had a grown daughter who went to another country and married a man, I would be saying all that I could to encourage my daughter to accept that new circumstances are very difficult at first. Of course I would say that I missed her, but for Holly’s mom to be just reiterating that she thinks South Africa is dangerous makes me worry that Holly is just going to bail. Thoughts?
One of my twins (31F) moved out of the US right after UNI. She has been gone for like a decade. She has lived/worked in So Korea, Africa, and now moved to Rome a few weeks ago. I miss her like crazy but I do nothing but positive vibes when we talk. Its not my life. Parents need to mind their own business more. Also, her twin sister is halfway thru a 1 yr backpacking honeymoon trip around the world. She is going to some sketch ass places. As her mom I have to hope I didn’t raise a dumb ass and support them in their endeavors.
that’s a cool attitude to have.
