I agree with the others. Move when its right for you, but try really, really hard to find somewhere that will welcome you and the cats. I know it'll be hard, but you found the place you're in now, so there has to be another in CT. I'll be praying hard for something good to come along for you.

I'm so sorry you aren't happy in MI. It WAS a good idea and I'm sure it has been a good learning experience. If anything, you can always say, "I've lived in MI".

Good luck in whatever you decide. And...if I lived closer, you'd be more than welcome at my house for ALL holidays...and non-holidays.
