ive resisted posting about my older sister for a few years now, but what she's doing is absolutely mad and just wanted opinions. 10 years ago, her and her partner, who is 15 years older than her, moved to hawaii. it was his dream and he had built the house himself over some years, and sold his home in california, the home he grew up in, in order to make the move. he'd only been with my sister for about 2 years, but he asked her to marry him and join him in this 'dream.' she was keen. she moved there. then after a few weeks, she started to moan about this and that. first, the locals didnt like her, then, the weather (in hawaii???), complianed about the rain. then it was the isolation, then her co workers didnt like her (she had gotten a good job as well), she quit her job. next thing i hear, she's dumped the two dogs she and her hubby had bought as puppies after they arrived in hawaii onto some neighbours, and took off back to the mainland, but not california. north carolina, where she lined up another job. she left her husband to sell his dream home and come follow her. i thought he'd tell her where to go, but hey, its love right, and he trashed his dream for her. he sold the home, then he had to have the car shipped to the mainland, and drive it alone himself to her in NC. he works as a self employed plumber, so every time he moves states he has to go through some new check and pay another licence fee, which is costly. anyway, they lasted a few months in north carolina. then they moved to biloxi. my sister had quit the job in NC and found another in biloxi. so she dragged him there. then a few months later that went t*ts up. they moved back to california, where she'd found another job. then, a few months later, she packed them up and moved to arizona, where her friend from high school lived. that lasted another few months. now she says she doesnt like arizona and cant find a job, and the latest news is that they are on their way to wyoming. couple that with the fact my sister has turned into this massive jesus freak, when i speak to her she sounds borderline insane with all the praying this and praying that... i am concerned for my mother, who is 82, and already gets enough grief off my other sister who lives with her because she dont feel like working (other sis was never married). what do you make of this? i cannot get my head around this, its mad, thank god she doesnt have kids and is dragging them around like this...! crikey i knew my family was mad but this takes the cake... whats gonna happen after wyoming? is this a state by state thing? is she crossing out states on a giant map in her lounge? and what happens when she runs out of states??? this isnt a joke, i wish it was, but you couldnt make it up. person who explains this the best will get best answer. blackcat, i never said i was going to get involved in this, i merely am asking what other people think cos i think its mad, end of....
