Relocation fears, tears and worries

As many of you know, I have spent a good bit of my time helping familes relocate throughout the area, and I have tried many times to see what you see. I know, if you are coming from another area of the country, there is a fear that you won't be happy here... I know there is a fear that comes with the unknown...Are there still a lot of sterotypes about the South? Those of you who live here, how often do you think of yourself in the South? But I'd like to put the question to you, what were your biggest fears? Your moments of highest stress? How were you able to put them aside? How has the move to Charlotte, Huntersville, Matthews, Weddington, Waxhaw or Lake Norman-- how have the fears worked out, and how has the move worked out,for your family, for yourself?
