It's perfectly normal to get anxious when making a big change in one's life. They are many unknowns which most people get scared and confused when the things they have been comfortable with, gets changed.. There will be a period of adjustment when you move here, but after a few months, you will see it's the best thing that could happen to someone, who really wants to be here.

When the doubters and family members who only have their interest at heart visit, they will see the big picture and be converted.

My mother always used to say, "you can't live your life for your children, you need you own friends and way of life. Those that think they know you, don't know what's in your heart and mind. Be your own person and you will be much happier.

Have they seen TV and all it has to offer? Probably not, and some people are just so negative to things, in general.

Very well said Joe!
