My partners mum has recently moved back to her home town and this Is where my partner grew up, all his other family live up there too and we have been considering moving up there aswell but my eldest girl has a different dad and he lives round the corner from where we are now, all of my family and friends live down here too and I've never been great with new social situations and making new friends, I suffer with severe anxiety and depression.
My partner wants to move but I keep going back and forth on the idea.
There are pros and cons to moving I.e the house up there is nicer and cheaper, the area is better and there aren't stabbings around the corner every week, the schools are good and we will be around family that are able to help, my mil has said she will look after my youngest so I could return to work as she has just retired.
The cons are that I will be leaving everyone and everything I've ever known, my girl is in school a 5 minute walk from our house and she loves it, her dad is 20 minutes down the road and she sees him every other week (no he doesn't pay barely anything towards maintenance but he does see her often and adores her and she adores him) I am worried about taking her away, although I am happy to take in turns dropping her there and back for periods at a time if we do move.
She is starting year 1 in September so still young.
My mind is racing and I don't know what to do so if anyone has there own experiences they could share I'd really appreciate it. And yes I know it can only be me that makes my decision but I need some insight
