I’d say mostly California at least in Dallas but it’s really everywhere. City is booming and people are constantly moving here. But if your kids happy where you are at and you don’t have to move any reason you don’t wait to move til they finish HS?

Yes, families relocate all the time.

Whether it’s a good fit for you is something you’ll have to determine for yourself

Your money doesn’t go nearly as far in Texas. Property tax and insurance is extremely high in Texas. Texas has no income tax so the services are extremely expensive. Sure that lcol price looks good but you’ll pay dearly for it

I don’t think you really know what you’re talking about. The property taxes are high but they are high in New Jersey also plus you have to pay ~5 - 10% in income tax. I have no idea what insurance rates are in New Jersey but I can’t imagine that is more than a couple thousand dollar annual difference. My property taxes and insurance are less than my income tax alone would be in New Jersey then you still have to pay property tax and insurance

I have realized I grew up in a household where my dad did not treat my mom as an equal. He belittles her, is rude and convinced his way is the only way.

It is painful to say, but some of this shows up in me and in my relationship. I am starting to catch myself, and it to me seems to be more of a reaction than anythjng that is ever intentional.

Wondering if anyone has dealt with something similar, and any success in making changes besides therapy. Cont. in comments

I read a lot of posts here about difficult bosses, difficult clients, difficult partners, terrible briefs and terrible agencies. All that might be true. But it’s getting old. What I’d be interested in hearing about are the stories of how people have overcome the challenges. How did you sell that big idea? How did you fix a relationship? The world is not going to get easier. So maybe we can help each other get better at dealing with it. Who had a win recently? How did you do it?
