I moved away from my family a few months after getting discharged from the military
Did you decide to leave the military recently?
No, I had planned on leaving the military after I realized how much I hated it.
Do you want to be close to your family? It could be good being close in case something comes up.
Military life is too stressful and boring so I stayed away.
Being with family would have been a nice break away from the military. Plus, now that you are discharged there won't be a reason why you wouldn't visit them.
