Had a fairly crappy number of years - partner left and daughter had a lot of mental health and physical health problems. I have incurable lymphoma but I manage it with chemo shots. Have adapted to doing some work from home but now have sold our house in the south east and moved in with my mother temporarily. I have the money to buy a home and I have found a area I really love - Stroud. But the family are being quite 'heavy' in the sense that they would prefer me to live in Bristol, which would be more convenient for them. I know that they only want the best for me and that they want to help. Bristol is lovely but I have set my heart on Stroud. It's not exactly miles away. I don't want to live somewhere that is more convenient for people and I am beginning to feel like a burden. I know that I am poorly but I love my independence, like solitude and really don't want to be overwhelmed by family all the time. I am beginning to feel very stroppy and it's taking the joy out of looking for my home. I want to settle somewhere where I am happy. Surely I deserve that now or am I being selfish?
