I haven't been back to my hometown in 5 years for a lot of reasons but primarially because my brother told my love that I had moved on and had another boyfriend when he contacted him a couple of months after the breakup because he felt " I was better off without him" and my mother and other sibling agreed that instead of marrying I should take care of my mother and maintain the family home so they could do what they want with their families instead of caregiving and home maintenance
I finally went home for a few days and everywhere I looked I was reminded of where we met went on our dates that sort of thing He is not from the area at all he was there on business so there is no reason in the world for him to be there so no hope he would just pop up there
I am dealing with the tight chest and feel so defeated I was hoping the memories would feel good remind me of being happy
I will be honest I need some nurturing right now
all I did in the time I was there was clean my mother's house my siblings both took off so I really didn't see them at all which is fine neither is supportive as they are both disappointed in their marriages and unhappy
For a while I was manifesting good things and I was really feeling like he was on his way
Thank you my friends for any kindness you can show me

I am at a crossroads as well; I really want it to work out in your situation, and in mine.
BTW, caretaking for your elderly parents is difficult, draining yet rewarding, no matter how often you are there. Just make the time you are there count. I know she appreciates it. Looking at one last sunset, hearing how he wished he had gone to Paris,eating a cup of soup on the porch, cleaning his bathroom, washing her windows so she could see the birds or just brushing her hair are things that I will always remember as service to my parents before they died. They are the things that helped us reconcile some of the "stuff" between us and get it all out there. It was cathartic.
