Pahrump, NV
Too isolated for me -
3/26/2019Moved to Pahrump 5 years ago from Oregon. I wanted to move to Las Vegas but my husband talked me into moving to Pahrump. I wanted the shopping and activities and restaurants of the city. He wanted small town. I used to live in Las Vegas and loved it. I can drive in Las Vegas on surface streets and get to stores. I have panic disorder where I cannot drive on freeways or fast roads by myself. My husband promised he would take me to Las Vegas Any Time I wanted. After 5 years we haven't gone there yet except to go to my doctor. There are no specialists in Pahrump, so I need to go to Las Vegas for doctors. I have searched for 5 years for transportation to the city for shopping and activities. There is none. I am totally isolated here. I would get a divorce, but we're retired and I only receive $500 per month social security so need both incomes to survive. I was lied to when we moved here and regret it every single day. I have tried to find friends for activities, but no one seems to want to go into the city. People go to the city for work, but they are younger. There are hiking groups, but I have trouble walking long distances, so I can't join in. If you don't have transportation and like activities, don't move here.
