Relocated from Noida to Bangalore recently. On paper, everything looks like a win - promotion to VP, better salary, new city, opportunities.

But reality feels very different
My family is still settled in Noida, even though my kid is with me right now, there’s this constant thought in the back of my mind — that they’ll be going back next week. And honestly, that thought alone is heavy. Trying to stay strong but some days just feel off. For those who have been away from family, how do you manage?

Sharing my pov as a female. Although im not married, but i believe staying away from family isnt worth it. You will miss out on spending time with your kid, your wife, miss out on listening to your kid's stories from school. Often days when you want to come back home and celebrate some achievement, big or small, they wont be there for it and its not worth it.
Doing everything for family and still not being able to live with them, it sucks.
