The past few months were the craziest and busiest time for my family. We moved to a new home and that alone is draining not only physically but emotionally as well. Moving is not easy, there are so much things going in your mind and during this time in your life, a support system is very essential. For those of you who have experienced moving, I am sure you can relate what we have been through.
After we have moved, I was overwhelmed with emotions. I mentioned in my post that I wish my family back home was here with me because I wouldn't hesitate to ask them to help me but somehow someone misinterpreted it with something else. I was irritated and frustrated, I cried. I felt attacked with the people that I thought I could lean on especially that I have nobody here but my husband and kids. I am however blessed and grateful that we have a neighbor who is willing to help and be there for us anytime. Thanks Don for all your help. Even my husband's co-workers helped us during the move. My husband also asked his niece's husband to help him move the refrigerator.
When I first came here in America, I thank God everyday for giving me a wonderful new family. Things were really good and I get along with them well until recently. I have been keeping this feelings for a long time, trying not to say anything because I don't want drama but there's a time when you have to stand up for yourself and say "enough is enough!" I wouldn't divulge the details but I was very hurt of what has been done. So for now, I am taking a break with the family I used to love and respect.
But I thank God that things are looking great now, I have moved on and adjusted with our regular life in a new house.

Moving on, I always believe that there is always a rainbow after the rain. We sold our house after just 18 days in the market and I couldn't be more happier, the weight has been lifted from our shoulders.
I hope that the pain will slowly heal in the future. I don't think it will go back the way it was but time will tell. Damage has been done and it's hard to forget when emotions are hurt.
"Family quarrels are bitter things. They don't go according to any rules. They're not like aches or wounds, they're more like splits in the skin that won't heal because there's not enough material." F. Scott Fitzgerald
That is one vivid rainbow! I haven't seen vivid rainbows within this year yet. Hoping to see one and photograph it! :-)
ReplyDeleteI am not sure if there is a single family in this world who is immune to any disagreements, rifts, quarrels... It happens to all of us sis. Just stand your ground knowing that you've not done anything wrong and make peace with that and move on. It's not easy to have a tiff with blood relatives and even the in-laws but sometimes, someone has to give...
ReplyDeleteno matter how sorrows and saw and rain we have after all the trials the our Almighty gave us, if we don't lose hope and still look up to Him, He will give you a rainbow, happiness and joy
ReplyDeleteStress can do real havoc on our emotions thus affecting our outlook and behavior. I'm sure everything will be much better in time.
ReplyDeleteSometimes when we are too tired with physical activity (in your case, moving to a new home), our emotions get the better of us. I have to admit, I have my bursts of frustration and sadly, I take it out on the family that loves me. Don't feel bad about what happened. You are right, time will heal. Eventually, people will understand what you have been going through. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you sis. Just a year ago, I'm probably in the same situation as you are. Maybe different reasons. But yeah, I moved on despite the pains and troubles someone close cause me. I'm happy that things are going well at your side. Stay happy.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, things are going well on your side as well sustah, it is stressful!
DeleteIt's hard to move huh. I just moved across the street and it was a bit hard for me because I miss the old house. It's nice to know you have a support system there.
ReplyDeleteActually uit's the opposite, I don't have a support system here that's what it made so hard.
DeleteI hope you in times, you can mend things up and resolve any issues peacefully. Wishing you a smooth settling in period.
ReplyDeleteWow that is one beautiful rainbow, there is something soothing about the sight of one, almost like a light at the end of the tunnel. I hope in time you come to love your new home. x
ReplyDeleteIt's always so exciting for me when I find a rainbow. They are so magical.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful rainbow! Sometimes taking a step back from people you love because of hurtful stuff happening is the best thing. It might give you both the break you need!
ReplyDeleteWhen you are mentally and physically tired, your emotions can run very high. Always look for that rainbow or the silver lining!
ReplyDeleteStress can really mess with your emotions! Hope you all settle in and everything goes smoothly!
ReplyDeleteWow that is seriously one beautiful rainbow. Sending you prays through and hoping everything can mend smoothly in time.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. My family and I moved across the country last year, and it was one of the most stressful things, ever. We're still getting adjusted, and it's been over a year, now!
ReplyDeleteMoving is so stressful, so it's no wonder than emotions were high. Sorry you were hurt, I hope time heals the wounds.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a lovely picture. I love your take on rainbows. You are so right on.
ReplyDeleteYes so stressful. I remember when we moved a few years ago everyone's emotions were at an all time high.
ReplyDeleteRainbows are amazing!!! I know my kids love to look for them after a good rainstorm.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new home. Trouble doesn't last always, hope you find peace soon.
ReplyDeleteWe just moved a few months ago... only a few miles away but took long time to move our stuff. Definitely not easy
ReplyDeletemoving was the hardest thing I've done....not from leaving people behind because at the time I left, I had no one, but just because of leaving the familiar. I'll pray for you and the extended family.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new home! Moving can be very hard, especially when you are not around your family! YAY for the new neighbors coming through, that will help with the transition of everything!
