Well, may i ask how old is your mother? if she is am old lady , i suggest you to spend more time with your mother.It will make you not to feel regret when she pass away. That will be a different situation if she is still young. :0 wish you good luck and a happy life.

It is up to you .Do you love your mom?Do you love her so much that you can give up the chance of living a happy life to stay with her ? Anyone's advice is just a refferance . Your feeling is the key .

You are a very thoughtful person, loving and caring for your mother. You may be in the midst of a dilema at times, career and parent. One way you may want to consider (may be) is to take your mother too the the country where your job takes you to, or accept a job in the country where your mother will feel comfortable to live with you.

Your mother is right you do need to do what is best for you. If moving to another country is what you want to do, then you need to do it. You cannot put your life on hold, all you are doing is wasting time. I do understand how you feel about not wanting to leave your mother however. But if she is urging you to go, you must. She may not be as lonely as you think she is. Best of luck to you.

My dad is still working abroad and even after I married, my dad still doesn't want to come home and stay with my mom. He said he is too young to retire. That's why I left and my mom is left alone in our house. I moved to another country to be with my husband. But I have to be honest that every second of my life being away, I have my mom in my mind. We do talk everyday through skype, but of course being there in person is always another thing. I think you should not refuse to take chances. Few people are given the chance to move to another country for work or migration. You can try your luck and work hard to be successful there. In time when you are already stable, you can take your mom with you. That will be a good opportunity for her too, to live with you in a better place. If she won't want to live in another country, you can take her for vacation. IF you go, I think it can give you a better opportunity to give her a better life. Leaving doesn't mean leaving and forgetting her for the rest of your life...

Dont Leave! You must enjoy your life with your mother as long she is alive! After that you can do everything you want.

You cannot have the cake and eat it too. You have to decide between Mom and job. Did you think of taking your mom to the country where you are staying?[b][/b]

I think if you move overseas your mom will miss you unless she can see you from time to time. If a British person moves to Spain flight prices back and forth are cheap. If he or she emigrates to Australia then seeing each other often just isn't possible. It is possible to communicate by email, web cam, phone calls and mobile phone messages. I have been to more than fifty different countries. Lovely places I would be happy living are Australia and New Zealand. However these are across the other side of the earth to where I live. I advise you to do traveling and then she how you feel. You might be able to decide where to move to or stay put. Good luck.

For me take time to your mom because if you there and you find more sad day's and have wrong happened then it is your fault the result is always in the last.

You are a good child thinking of your mother's farewell and putting her as your top priority. Maybe, if you asked her, she will be more than happy to let you go. I am a mother too and thinking ahead, I wouldn't want to be a burden to my children specially if its for their future.
