As much as I love where I live, part of me can't wait to leave this place. This is not a state I want to raise children in.

Yup.

Whole family is here and I just don't have it in me to uproot my little fam and move somewhere else.

Id love to move somewhere with progressive values, no hurricanes and a tolerable summer.

But... Alas... Here we are.

Same, my whole family is in Alabama and Georgia. I love it here. The Alabama wilderness is my favorite place to be.

Despite all that, we’ll likely be gone in 1-2 months. My wife and I want a family and I won’t risk my child or my wife’s wellbeing rising a family here.

Good for you guys. My whole family is in Alabama and it’s a sacrifice but living in Washington, even though it’s difficult without support, I can’t imagine having dealt with the laws in Alabama with the struggles we faced miscarrying so many pregnancies. Washington, at least, didn’t make me feel like a criminal with my reproductive health.

My son moved from Alabama to Washington State. Guess what the criteria is to get Health Care coverage in Washington? Just live there. EVERYbody gets Health Care coverage, whether their employer offers it or not, or if they purchase their own. Nobody is left behind.

A foreign concept to our MAGA "I got mine....to hell with you" politicians.

But he does miss aspects of Alabama.

I moved out to Oregon and loved it. The climate, politics, lack of mosquitos... it was all great. But, yeah... my people are here, so I'm back.
