Parents Moving

This is the last week my parents will be in their house-the one I was raised in and they have lived in for 30 years!

I am so sad! It's my mother's bday tomorrow and I will be going to LI-but I cant believe it will be the last time I sleep in "My House"

What's funny is that I went away to school-stayed in CT -bought a house-got married-and I still say, "Going Home" when referring to Long Island...

My parents are not going far-its not that...its the memories in the house!

Anyone ever experience something like this-how did you deal?

Re: Parents Moving

I am going thru it now- but with a twist- we lost my Mom 2 years ago- so I think it makes it even harder

my Dad moved to florida 2 weeks ago
the house is about to be closed on

I was so over come with emotion the last time I was there- I cried the whole drive back to my house- my eyes are welling up with tears now just thinking about it

I don't have any advice on how to deal- but I know how you feel - and it's very hard

I wish the new family has the great life that we had in that house

they even said we could visit it- but I don't think I can even drive past it

Re: Parents Moving

My parents are selling the house I grew up in, so I will soon be feeling the same Chat Icon

And although their new place is gorgeous, and still on LI, I just can't imagine driving past *my* house and not being able to go in...

Re: Parents Moving

When my parents sold their house in Queens, I was happy. I lived there from the age of 5 to 24 (when I got married). But my parents sold that house to move 5 blocks away from me in LI. SO it was cool. But it was very weird seeing the house packed up and empty. I got a little emotional, but I was already out of the house for 6 years at that point.
Now the next move might be my family (me, DH and our kids) and my parents (again). This time to move to North Carolina. Time will tell.

I do the same thing. I've been a CT resident for 5 years, and in many ways, I still think of LI/my parents' house as my "home."

Re: Parents Moving

Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon I have not experienced it just yet but know i will be within the next year or so. It is going to be so tough especially considering DH & I bought 2 miles from my parents. I always lived in my parents house & still refer to it as "home" even though I have my own home now! What makes matters worse, my parents will be moving 425 miles away from me & I will only see them every month or so. I know it is the best thing for my parents especially considering my dad is retired & the financial burden to live on LI for them, is very hard.

I might be selfish though & just don't want them to go. My mom & I are best friends & it is going to be so difficult to not be able to go see her in the drop of a hat. Plus all the memories in my parents house will just be that! NO bringing my children to see my old stomping grounds! It is sad, but I guess we all need to deal with it at some point!

Re: Parents Moving

Oh.my.god. When my parents sold my house it was HORRIBLE!!

They moved in January of 2005, DH (then FH) and I went out and spent the night before out there and helped them get stuff out of the house.

Then we left and I sobbed so hard, and it was just sobbing. I couldn't control it. I cried the hardest that I have ever cried in my life. DH was shocked to hear me cry like that...but it was where I grew up, I was came home from the hospital to that house, came home from college to it.....it was HOME to me.

So, basically, I know how you feelChat Icon
