I really want to pack up my life and leave the state. California has never worked for me. I hate it…

what part of Cali are u in

@mssjudyk, wonderful Stockton. 😩

I'm in Sacramento :D Just moved here. and i love it. the allergies are horrible. but I love all the peace and quiet.. it feels like country living with beautiful houses ... amd everyone is so nice. If my house was ready I'd open my jome to ya, but none of the rooms aee ready, landlord is lagging it and its pissing me off. im almost due and we're paying rent still sleeping in the living room

@mssjudyk, I planned on moving to Sacramento. I'm just having a hard time being pregnant, needing a job, and raising my twins and figuring out how to make all this work. It's hard out here as a single parent. If I were in the south I would have no problem making this work. The culture and the people out here are so backwards. I enjoy Sacramento a lot and was out there yesterday just to get away.

Stockton? No wonder! Good luck girl 🍀 I hope you find a place in Cali that suits you. I moved from So Cal to Nor Cal and have been soooo much happier.

@danamarie, Honestly, I think Stockton really is the problem. There's no life out here. And it sucks the life out of me. California is beautiful and has so much to offer, but I feel so isolated out here and stuck. What city did you settle in?

So I'm in East Bay near SF. I refuse to live in the crowded city and pay 3-4000 for a one bedroom apt. But at least I'm close enough to take the Bart in and it's only 40 minutes. Lots and lots to do out here! You'd love it.

yes you should. it's much easier. Im sorry you're going thru this. I wish I could help you right now :( I'd take ya to the county building amd help ya get your stuffs :) We have a four bedroom. Im here all by myself since my bf is working all day.

@danamarie, We're originally from the Bay Area. My brother just got a place in Daly City. How he affords it, I have no clue. It's a lovely place, but I hate traffic and small tight cities. I'm offer in the Bay Area to get away as well. Any place but here.

often*

@mssjudyk, It's crazy because the only thing I'm missing is housing. I've got a car, gas, and food. I just need a new stable location. I'm sure I'll figure this out. God is on my side. There has to be SOMETHING for my family.

Damn girl keep trying - it will work out. You seem like you have your shit together more than most so I have faith in you! 💙
