I don’t know where this concept that it’s somehow giving up to move your family somewhere that is safer came from. Immigrants have done it for centuries, just because you’re leaving a part of the US or the US all together to start a life that is potentially better for you and your kids doesn’t make that choice any less valid. I married a Dutch guy and we used to talk about moving back to the US, but now that we have kids it’s never going to happen. Not that The Netherlands is all that much better than the US, it’s very much slip-sliding into a nationalist nightmare, but at least my kids never have to do a lockdown drill, we have affordable healthcare and we can bike everywhere. Hope you find a new place to live that is safer for you and your husband.
