After my meeting last night at my POZ meeting I have decided that I will be moving away from Virginia and moving to Tennessee. Things are just not getting any better living here near my folks anymore. It is time for me to move on and get on with my life away from my family it will be hard at first but after the meeting last night It really opened up doors for me and I have so many of the group member there wanting to help me get out of here and move down there. It is just a shame I can not make my family understand how I feel and all they tend to do is ignore me and try to get me help for being gay. Not going to happen in this lifetime. The past few weeks I have gotten myself run down and the heartache of living here is like living in hell I have no life here.So it is time for me to get on with my life and try to improve my health status.

Jerry,

It sounds like you've had quite a rough time of it lately with your family. I moved across the country to keep some space between my family and myself (and they weren't nearly as bad as yours seem to be).

Where in TN are you planning to move? Nashville probably has the most "gay-friendly" and tolerant population (OK, i know we're talking about Tennessee here, so it's all relative). Plus the HIV services would probably be better there than other cities.

Glad you've decided on a plan of action. Best of luck to you.

John

Going to try and find help and support in Johnson City Tn. Hopeful by next month I should have some lead on more information also my ID doctor is in Tennessee. Just hope to get away from all the pain and suffering I have too go through for the past since staying near my folks.

Hello Jerry, it is Eldon.

I love to hear good news! I wanted to wish you all of the BEST for you move to Tennessee. Plan, plan, and plan before you move so that you can have everything in place so to speak. It would be a good thing to hook up with Brian (Quarter Horse) so he can show you around town.

Again, all the BEST and have the BEST Day!

Jerry,

This is excellent news. And, as you go through this important phase, please stay in touch with all of us. Moving is never easy. Setting up a new support system takes time and connections can truly help. Enlist us, okay?

I am proud of how far you've come in a very short period. Remember Montreal if you want to give yourself a big atta boy.

this is really good news Jerry. It's not going to be easy and at times it just might seem like big mistake but, believe me, you'll work it out and you'll feel like you're on top of the world.

If you need something just let us know.

We love you...robert

Jerry, however it happens it's a GOOD THING! What a feeling that when you look out your window, no matter how bad things are, you won't have your under-informed kinfolk staring back at you. Feels like they are taunting you at times, no? This might just be the, dare I say, catalyst for healing with them? Once they realize (and the whole town realizes) that 'cancer' Jerry has moved on? I bet half them say "he's getting his treatment" while the other, more informed half say "You Go Boi!"

Best to you, brother, and keep kickin' it!!!!

Jerry,
I sent you a long PM..too wordy I think. But in addition, I must say, that there are all kinds of families in this world. I think the people around here are a rather nice lot. Not to be mean to families, but there is more wisdom in the AM family than in 99 percent of any others I've met. Just sayin' .......

Thanks everyone the first big step is finding some place to live and then contact the health department to get my meds taken care of so I can start a new life. The second step is to move my things from my place without the trouble of my family telling what I can or what I can not take. I will just have to cross that bridge when I get there but just glad I am getting the chance to move out before it is too late.

Jody · « **Reply #18 on:** September 23, 2006, 10:28:51 am »

Congratulations Jerry and I think this is great news...You will find friendship and support in TN and away from family and your current surroundings...
Good luck to you and keep us posted.

Jerry, look at this in small steps and do not try and bite off everything in a day... This is a process for anybody -ve and non-gay.. Just go gently.. Very proud of your decisions to "move on" with your life...

Love

Jerry: You are the one that told me about this website to which I am very grateful for. You know that I don't live far from you at all so if you need any help at all, this includes physically me driving up there to help you move then please feel free to count on me and I will be there.

Good luck with the move Jerry. I hope everything works out the way you want it to.

Good luck Jerry! I think everyone should just pick up and move once or twice in their life. It's not nearly as scary as we think it will be. But change does create fears and anxieties. Best of luck to you Jerry. I'm sure everything will work out fine.

LatinAlexander · « **Reply #23 on:** September 24, 2006, 01:56:56 pm »

GO FOR IT!!!...Well, I moved out of my parents house a few days ago (In the same town however), and let me tell you...It feels great!!!!!

Jerry,

Sending you BEST wishes! There is nothing like living on your own. A brand new start. DO definitely hook up with your resources in the next town so the move can go smoothly.

Have the BEST Day!

Thanks everyone just found out today I'm going to have to keep what I say privately since there are people in my family snooping on me. If you want to contact me please do it through a PM. I can no longer take the chance of anyone in my family snooping or getting up in my personal life on the forums anymore.

I have choosen to move on with my life and move away as soon as I can. I cannot contune to write on these threads and know that someone in my family has nothing better to do than to spy on there child. So I will say it again this will be my last thread if you want to contact please do through a PM and I will get back too you as soon as I can.
