I have been unhappy for a long time now, although have made positive steps. I have divorced my exH (divorced 1 yr now) after 13 yrs, taken on mortgage, brought my son up alone since he was 18 months ( 5 now) and recently escaped a potentially abusive relationship.
Now I feel alone. I do not get on with my mother, havent for years and realise she is really contributing to me feeling unhappy, she physically lives close and I feel she has a hold over me, treats me as a child and I do not like her influence on my son. I just feel i need physical distance, so she cant see Im in, or pop in when she wants etc :-( I feel the next step is to possibly move house, start looking into it, out of the previous marital home where i am now.
When i go away with my son, I am soo happy, when i return i am despressed and caught in the bubble again. I want to escape it. I want to do it before Im 40, Im 36 now. I really just feel i want to leave it all behind. I worry about changing schools for my son and wouldnt want to move too far, so he will continue to see his dad.
Has anyone successfully done this? I cant afford to make a mistake...
