I am looking to see if anyone else is in a similar situation? I recently got a new job as a housing officer round the corner from where I live. This has opened my eyes to how much of a shite area we live in. Love my house, but cannot bear the thought of my son growing up here. Hubby is pulling his hair out as we have only. Lived here for 18 months and done so much work to the house. But I cannot keep hiding the fact I hate living here. He is furious at the thought and expense of moving again. Telling me that these issues happen everywhere.
