I made the choice to raise my daughter away from the big urban cities.
I love big cities; I went to college in NYC and lived a long time in LA. I love art and culture.
Friends ask how I could leave, and I tell them I did it for the health of my daughter. In the city, there were lots of negative influences on her and she was going down a dark path.
We as parents need to guide and protect our children and if that means living in the country, which I completely love, then so be it.
Our children are our future and must be loved and protected.
