DID I RUIN MY TEENAGERS LIFE ?

DID I RUIN HIS LIFE , DID I MAKE A MASSIVE MISTAKE ? Before we left Canada, the math made sense. The budget looked doable on paper, and the move felt like a fresh start. But the reality of moving across the world with a teenage gamer is a whole different story. Right now, the pressure feels suffocating. The Canadian dollar (CAD) is dropping, the Albanian lek (ALL) is climbing, and the budget I relied on has turned into a stressful puzzle I have no idea how to put together. On top of the financial strain, I’m carrying the heavy guilt of dragging my son away from his friends, his comfort zone, and his entire world. Standing here in Albania today, watching our money lose value while trying to keep my kid afloat, I have to ask myself the most terrifying question yet: Did I make a massive mistake leaving Canada?
