We moved from Wales to England when my dd was small, just before she started school as, although I’m Welsh I don’t speak fluently Welsh, and my dh is English. We lived in a Welsh speaking area and we decided at the time that it would be best for dd to go to an English speaking school.
We moved to a beautiful part of England wher we have always holidayed in the past.
6yrs on I still don’t feel settled and do pine for being back in Wales, mainly family are there, it’s all I’ve ever known, I didn’t move away for uni so I have lots of friends there ranging from school to uni to work to mum friends. I visit approx 3 times a year.
I do have friends here in England though and a job, so does dh... although no friends as he’s naturally not very sociable. We have hobbies and kids have friends and are settled in school. Youngest was 6 months old when we moved so knows no different.
We both want to move back but dd starts high school in Sept and we feel that this would be massively unfair on dc to move.
An English speaking area of Wales is not an option, we want to move back to where we came from.
Has anyone been in a similar position?
