There is a sense of betrayal and disloyalty I am receiving from more friends than I though I would. This is zapping a little bit of my joy and excitement of moving to the TV next week - although I knew they would be saddened (I am too), I thought they would be more supportive of my move, and of course I have a guest room for friends to visit, and will be flying back to Colorado a few times a year to visit them and spend Thanksgiving. Would like to hear any comments from those of you, and how you handled the move away from friends to TV.
Wow! So sorry to hear they were so negative towards you. Maybe they were not the friends you thought they were. When we told our friends we were moving they were very supportive. Although some were sad to see us leave but were happy for us and our new adventure. Don’t worry there will be many new friends to be gained once you settle in here.
