I might be moving closer to my parents

On Friday, my stgep-sister will pick me up and bring me to see my parents. I asked my step sister if she and her husband would consider having me live there. I would pay a share of the bills. The only hesitation so far was concern for climbing stairs. I said I would likely be able to handle the stairs before I had my surgery.

My Step-Sister will be discussing the idea with her husband. This could be the best and easiest way for me to finally get closer to my family!
 

Ronk,

From posts that you have made in the past, I would approach this change carefully.

Would it be possible to stick a toe in the water and spend a week or two with them before you actually make such a big life change?

I would also encourage you to do a little research on other living situations close to your family as opposed to with your family.

Good luck with your decision and I sincerely hope than you can find a way to make this work.
 
I totally agree with @Aunt Bea Ronk. Please be very careful about moving in with family, it's not always a good idea, and as you say you'll already have problems with the stairs, and what happens when you get older?.. I understand you'd like to be close with family.. but don't rush into this, you may regret it.. do as Aunt Bea suggests, it's very good advice !! Good luck (y)
 

I got excited about this possibility and got very little sleep last night. Then I went out for a short grocery shopping trip, and returned home exhausted. My leg & knee have been bothering me. I thought about my step sister's home. I couldn't climb all those stairs all the time until after I had knee surgery and recovered. Then I was also concerned that a room-mate situation might jeopardize our personal relationships. My Dad and step mother got married in 1980. She had 3 adult children who I barely know. I like my step sister and her husband. I'd like to know them better. I can accomplish that once I move into an apartment of my own, in the same city where they live.
 
I live about 30 miles away. I don't have any bus service, or a car. My parents had to give up driving due to health concerns. It sucks to get older.
 
Ron, I wish you the best solution to your living arrangements. I agree, give step sis's home a short visit. Maybe you can stay there while you look for an apartment nearby.

Let us know how it's going.
 
RadishRose. thanks again for your support. I've visited my sister's home already a few times. It would be much easier for me to stay here till I get a new apartment that is closer to everyone.
