Am going round and round in circles and it's driving me bonkers. DH works in city. Not likely to move job any time soon. So we are tied to living in or around London. My parents are getting older and not quite decrepit but getting that way. They decamped from Kent to Suffolk. They need to move again now as they are in middle of (lovely) nowhere in an old cottage with poor heating. They don't have much dollar but need (want?) detached period with garage so are thinking of heading far away to get this. I want them to have a nice place and do what they want but I also feel so sad I won't be near to them. I'Ve tried every possible combination of places we could live and they could and best case scenario is 1.5 hour drive. I also hate where we live but just don't know where else would be better (schools to think about now too) given I'm trying to factor in too many things. I don't really know what response I want, I just feel lost and not at home and worried about my parents being far away. I suppose it would be good to know if anyone else has elderly parents far away and how they manage to stay in touch and visit often. We want to move again as hate where we are but what's the point if still far away from family :-(
