Fucking retarded logic

I need to have a major vent about my mother. I absolutely ADORE my mother. She's the most beautiful, loving, amazing woman you'll ever meet. But sometimes her logic is seriously flawed, and it gives me the shits.

We moved back to Adelaide around a year ago. Adelaide is home, and we thought we were GOING home, but it didn't work out that way. We all miss Canberra and regret moving back. The ONLY thing that's worth being back for is that we're able to spend time with my Aunt, Uncle and Cousin whom we've always been very close to. Even they know we're miserable here and have said if we want to move back they'll visit heaps and we can visit them here too.

So simple answer is move back, right? Of course not. Because Mum has decided that they can't afford to retire there. Now, that would be fine, because they could live there while working and then move back here to retire. It's work that Mum loathes here so she'd be happy without that. It's the perfect time to do it at the end of this year because my sister will be finished year 12 and about to take a gap year, and A-Train wont be starting child care til next year, so if we could sort ourselves out in Canberra by February all would be good.

Except Mum have this retarded habit of making decisions based on what could POSSIBLY happen at some stage in the future, should I fall in love with someone who doesn't fit her ultimate plans. So despite everyone being miserable here, she wont move us back because I could end up falling in love with someone in Canberra and then not want to move back with them when they retire.

She would rather us all be miserable, than risk a future that could possibly involve us being happy in seperate states.

How fucking retarded is that?
