I am a year on from separation after 17 years. My ex and dd are moving away back to his home town and I will be starting again on my own.
I will be buying a house or flat hopefully in the next few months and I am really torn as to what to do.
I work in another city which is currently almost an hours drive, whilst I don't want to move to that city Id like to reduce my travel time (and cost) and I would also like to live a bit more rural. I would probably only be able to get a flat as the areas are more expensive and be further away from my friends and family....but I feel like I need a fresh start. Especially as my dd is going which I am finding very hard to come to terms with ...
BUT would I be silly to move away from my support network .....but to live in a nicer place???
