I know they say that kids should not move countries too often but was wondering whether in my case the situation is slightly different.
A few months ago I was living in the UK where my daughter was born 7 yrs ago. I had to move back home to my family in Sicily where I have all the family/friends support but quality of life is not as good. Eg food standards and choice, places to visit, choice of shops, activities etc....
I had to leave the UK as due to serious mental issues my ex was becoming a danger to us and would have found me wherever I moved within the UK . I do have his family there but I was still isolated as did not have friends.
My question is when my daughter is a bit older say 12/13 (so she won't need full time childcare) would it be ok to move back to uk to make a new life (away from my ex but hoping he would have sought treatment by then) there provided I can find work and afford the accommodation?
My daughter asked me whether we will ever go back to UK possibly on holiday and I said maybe when she is a teenager.
Any advice appreciated.
