Stick with current job... choose other

So.... I need your help. I don't have any friends to ask in real life so just wanted to see what you guys would do.

I'm 28. Single mum to a nine year old boy. Very good terms with his dad, and have a supportive family on my side and his to help out if needed.

I've work at a particular place for 12 years. Always enjoyed it and it's all I've ever known. But the last two years have been dreadful. There has been .... well I would go as far to say as bullying going on towards me for reasons I won't go into. The boss is fully aware but it's all done quite sneakily so nothing can be proven. So at the moment I really dread going into work some days. When it's good it's really ok, slightly boring but only the same as any other job. But I feel like I'm stuck in a rut. Do the same things and I'm never going to get to meet anyone living and working so locally in a tiny town.
However, I can take and pick my son up from school everyday. Up till now only work the odd Saturday. It takes me around five minutes to walk there.

I have been offered another job, which is an hour train away, so that adds train fare and more time away from home. Will most likely be the same number of hours, maybe slightly more, and probably won't be able to pick my son up from school most weekdays.

Just wanted to see what you guys would go for. A big change. Or suck up the job that's on my doorstep?

Well I suppose you have to weigh it all up. For the sake of your own mental health I can't imagine staying in a job where i was being made to feel like that.
There's no guarantee of course that you'll prefer the new job although presumably there won't be bullying there.
In terms of picking up your son, it's hard to know- I work full time so this will never be an option but is it really important to you? Who will pick him up? Will you get to see him an hour later?

I've never had any issue with bad feeling in the job before or in school or anywhere, so I have reason to believe that all the troubles will stop in the new place.

My mum and dad live very close to the school, and also his dad would be available two days a week to pick him up.

I doubt I will be working every Monday -Friday anyway.

It's just so hard to know what to do for the best.

Also it is important to me. But I think that's only because I've always done it. He's getting older now too, in two years he will be making his own way to and from school and I need to remember that they grow up too quick
