Could you leave the life you know behind?

I would have no choice.. But just as long as my family can come along with me.. This is a scary situation to be in.. I hope that this never happens.. This is a difficult situation to be in..

I asked this question several months ago, now I couldn't do it, I do think your immediate family gets to go with you but I just couldn't do it.

I don't think it would bother me too much as I have already had to start over and begin a new life a couple of times.

OMG That would be so awful - wouldn't it Mom? i can't imagine being a witness to something like that and not testifying against the perpetrator but neither could I imagine being separated from all those I hold dear in my life nor putting them in danger! It must be an impossible and heart wrenching decision for anyone and I would hate to be put in that situation - it is one I cannot even contemplate the answer to! xxx

Hi raydene! Oh that will be very difficult to do. However, if my life is in danger and I will also be putting my family and relatives in danger, then I think I have no other choice but to pack up and leave all behind. Very hard to do but I think i will be doing it. Take care and God Bless!

Yes, I can... As long as people whom I consider significant would support me, I will take every change that I will get in my life... Just need my security blanket to feel secure.

My identity has always been exremely important to me, and I love my hometow, I have lived here all of my life. I do't think I could do that. I think I'd rather stay around and fight for my identity than go into the witess protectio program. I'd raher just hire a bodybuard.

All my life i have re designed my life from bottom to top on average every ten years or so. First of all i dropped out of a career in my mid 20s and went to university at 26. After 10 years in academia, i jacked it in and went in to teaching in colleges, then i went to prison, been teaching fine art to mass murderers ever since. I wonder what the next re write will bring? No i have no problem changing my life at very short notice blessed be

Yuk, I would hate it mostly because I am very comfortable with my life the way it is. It isn't perfect by any means but I like things to be comfortably the same. It feels comfortable. LOL That's a lot of comfortables but I like knowing where everything is and how its going to work, what sounds are and I couldn't leave my daughter and grandchildren behind. Now if I could take my daughter, three grandsons and go, then I may be able to do it. But you know, if our lives were in danger, I would go right now! And I would try to be happy with our new life.

Thank you for the "best response". Life's too good not to do all we can with it!

I sort of did that twice in my life, and it's not all that hard, except for missing good friends. I ran away from home when I was absurdly young, and I discovered the homeless community can be wonderful in many ways, until I got old enough to earn a living and get a place to live. I left an abusive mariage after many years when I realized that nothing I could do would ever make it better. I had to go through a lot of strange things to do it, since he came after me for years, while I ran and hid and found ways to keep on keeping on. I'm in a wonderful marriage now. I love my work and my friends. I have the home of my dreams. Sometimes, though, I wonder about just getting a new life for no reason. My husband and I have decided to sort of wander the country when we retire until we find a place where we can set up a new life. It's not the same as witness protection, it's just a desire for a whole new life.
