Right, so this morning on the way to uni, my granddad broaches the subject of moving back to Essex after I graduateI. This is because we've got more family there that would help us out with my uncle's care once my grandparents were unable to.
Thing is, I REALLY don't want to go back there :(
I've got loads of friends where I am now, and also friends in Manchester (where I want to live/work). So, easy decision you think?
Well, I tried telling my granddad this, and he kept saying I'd have more opportunities to work in London, and could just come back on the train to see my mates. To make matters worse, I know my granddad will try and not move if one of us doesn't want to go :(
I obviously want what's best for my uncle, and he's already said to me before, I shouldn't change my plans on account of him. But I'm really torn. On the one hand, I could do it all by trains, but I'd probably need a hotel at least once a week, as a big group of my friends, I only see at ice hockey games in Manchester. I'd also be stuck in the family home again, and I was just gearing up to move out after uni.
I'd also be leaving my best friend H, who I've mentioned before. We were going to get a flat together. I'd ruin her plans too, and that seems unfair.
I'm close to tears right now, I really am struggling with this, so I'm going to email my course leader for a 1-1 tutorial and talk to him. Can't really tell anyone else in RL yet as it's only me and my granddad who know.
Thanks for listening...
