I need some advice. My mom (as some may know from reading my posts.) has moved out here, California, from Illinois to be closer to her future granddaughter. She also has said she has always wanted to move away from Illi-nowhere. Well, I'm due next month, and she's been staying with me until she can find a house and close on it. Well, yesterday - out of nowhere to me - she breaks down crying about how she's depressed and wants to "not be living out of a suitcase"...how she's missing her old job...and "if I don't have a place when the baby is born, I'm just going to pull money out of my 401k and drive back to Illinois." . It was over 5grand for her to move out here in the first place! I feel so bad for her. I understand moving is hard. I totally get it. But, what can I do to make her feel better?! She's putting so much stress on everyone - including herself. I come across as cold, and bitchy because I'm not emotional, and I say it like it is. I didn't ASK her to move out here. I never said "Mom. You need to move to California.". Obviously, I'd love for her to stay and be here with her granddaughter. But, I totally understand if she wants to go back home. We travel a lot, and it's not like she'd never see us or her grandbaby. I don't know how to be nice and calm. :(
