I left my dream life in London to move back in with my dads at 41. I have no regrets.
When I turned 40, I realized that time with family is perilously finite. Soon after, I moved back home to the US.
Jen Kaarlo, the author of the piece, moved back in with her fathers in Denver at the age of 41, even though she had a successful life in London. She reflected on the distance between herself and her fathers and moved back home a year after turning 40. The author had been living in London for many years and had built a life there, but eventually felt the need to be closer to her family.
When she returned to Colorado, she initially found it difficult to adjust, missing her independence and West End shows. However, she soon discovered that the small moments, such as chatting about the garden, laughing at dad jokes, and hugging her fathers, were far more valuable. One year after moving back, the author is happy with her decision and does not have any regrets.
