DH and I have been married for 4 years we have a 3yo DD and DH has 2 teens from previous marriage. I moved into ex-marital home and have never felt at home here. We have tried to sell but no takers. DH has agreed to move to coast (about 40 miles from here) but wants to wait 2 years until youngest teen has finished school (they live with us 50/50). I don't want to wait as DD will then have done a year at school. I want to go before next September so she won't have to switch schools after a year.
If I could afford to I would do it now TBH, what I'm afraid of is DD becoming settled here and then me being trapped (and living my mother's life of never liking where she lived). Also ex lives way too close and has been a thorn in our side since I met DH (I am only serious relationship since she left so copped for all the jealousy cr@p), still tries to turn kids against us etc.
Would you put step-kids before your own and stay or would you go and hope DH follows? If I go alone I have no idea how I would afford it but that doesn't seem to put me off!
