I am stressed....the last little stretch of time being apart the hardest?

Hi all.

So I am moving to Manchester in September.  I am stressed.  I am stressed about every little thing.  So this is a venting.  Things that I am stressed about:

1. money - not having enough when i get there, and not having enough now for what i need
2. custody of my daughter - my ex is being a a%$) and telling me that he isnt going to "allow" any time for her to come over...yes he is still thinking he is the one in control and the boss...still thinking he can control my life.
3. my family hating my guts
4.  my fiance is getting impatient, bored, restless, irritated at the waiting and wanting me to hurry - this adds so much stress on me...I feel like its my fault, or that I need to do something to entertain him...i feel like its my fault.
5. getting everything done before i leave
6.  buying a plane ticket for July to come over and visit (yes I am visiting one last time before I am over there permanently.


Theres a lot more.  my fiance keeps telling me how nice it is there, and that I am missing out on the summer.  I hate my job right now, and cant wait to be leaving it...course then i will have the stress of getting one over there.

I feel like my life is in this horrible limbo, not changing or progressing.  It seems like thes last 3 months are taking forever.  It seems like this last stretch is so hard, not to last but just irritating that you want to be with your partner and everything be fine.

 

I'm sorry you're stressed! The time right before I moved over was the worst for me as well.  I was just...desperate to get it over with, I think.  I did set up a countdown calendar (a friend made it for me!) with *important* dates on it (date I shipped my stuff, date the visa was mailed off, date of flight!)--this helped me see it getting closer and closer.
And, you'll have other summers! Lots and lots! That's the best part--you have a LOT of time to enjoy it once you're here.
(Although, I, ahem, may have been tormenting my DH this week by texting him that he's "missing out on summer" as he's in Ohio, though. Luckily, he's fairly pragmatic about such things and just replied "It's okay, I just spent three hours in Trader Joes." )

I don't know how old you are, but really - three months is a blink of an eye in a lifetime. Tell your fiance to chill out. Enjoy your summer in the US, spend time with your daughter and relax! 

It really is stressful to deal with all of those things before moving. You start getting that senioritis feeling you got in the last year of high school, like why isn't it over already? Your job starts to get on your nerves and every little thing annoys you and all you can think of is just putting it all behind you. I totally get that! But I do agree that it is important to spend time with the people you love who will be left behind... you will miss them more than you can even imagine you will. It will seem like an eternity, but its really not. It will fly over and in hindsight, you will wish you took time to do some things before you left... like swimming at night or what have you. Try to think about all you will miss and exploit it while you can!
