I'm kinda the same with German.... although I can understand and speak it OK.... I'm still embarrassed to be able to speak it. Heh! Not many places in the world where it's useful.... I can listen in on tourists conversations though...

Looks like a pretty crappy area. You still seem to be climbing pretty well for working so much. I am falling in that pic. I didn't RP the root. I did onsight from the ground to the first bolt, from the last bolt to the anchors, and also the big ghey rest in the middle. Yeah but you're still working .13b for kirssake, and you're sending .13a on the weekend. Says who? Sides, the ghey rest is supposed to cut the grade a letter and then I figured out a better way to do the hardest move, so its probably only 12+ I have spies everywhere. Ah, this is the route with the ghey rest. If it was only 12+, why didn't you send?  A lot of things go it to sending a difficult route.... Sometimes you sess, sometimes you get sessed. #6. Now lets talk about any of your big sends? oh that's rite, you haven't actually sent anything. I've sent lots of things. Why you has to liez. Why? I never lie! I've sent tons of things. They are just mostly 5.11 and under. I'm sorry to have to be the won to break the news to ewe... '5.11 and under' aren't really sends. sorry. I hate being a has-ben.
I'm comfortable in my "never-was" status.

Just one of those things where you think you finally have a plan, then a giant wrench gets thrown in and you're faced with very hard decisions.
I hate decision making.

Sounds like emotional blackmail, whether it's unintentional or not. Your life is your life and it's not like you're gonna be deep in the Congo jungle. How long of a travel is it to see each other?
I got that a few times in my travels from the family... it's a way of them trying to deal with the concept.

It's not a bad flight, but I don't come from a flying family.
I'm also the eldest, so this is the first time they have to deal with someone leaving the nest.

I'm lucky, my parents have never given me that grief. My because my mother's family is so spread out? Out of 15 kids only 6 of them are still in Nova Scotia.
Sometimes I miss being near family, especially now that my brother has kids (he's still out in NS). But most of the time it's nice not having to disappoint people when you're away every weekend, including holidays, climbing.

People can and will adapt... and quite quickly. If you're used to weekly or even monthly visits it won't take long to adapt to seeing each other every six months. You can make alternate visits, or meet for half-way parties (I never did that coz it would make our meeting 1000 miles north of Easter Island). Distance makes time together even more special... you don't take the time for granted and you make the most of it.
I remember the day my Grandfather told me just to go and live my life, a few months after my mom died. He said, "you gotta live your life for you, what are you waiting around for?". Family shouldn't request otherwise from you. The nest is built to be left... just how far is something that's up to the individual to determine... without pressure and with courage from all involved.

He is correct.
If you do go and hate it you can come back.
If you do go and love it, you'll figure out how to still be in your family's lives.

I live 2 hours from my parents. I talk to them once every 2 months or so. That includes e-mail and phone and visits.
My sister lives in Florida, she's in contact with my parents everyday it seems.
