Have you ever left everything behind? Big life changes...

I wonder if anyone else as made several big changes to their life all in one go and pretty much started again from scratch in middle age?

I started this process late last year: sold up my home, moved to a completely new, cheaper area, left a relationship (the man I was dating assaulted me), lost a few friends in the process who could not deal with the more confident and less forgiving new me, got a new job and I finally cut off toxic relatives out of my life entirely after years of putting up with dodgy behaviour (they have no idea of where I live now).

Quite a list...

I am still wrestling with trying to find the right place to settle (house purchase turning out to be a nightmare) and the job I found is definitely not a long term prospect, so I am still dealing with a lot of uncertainty although I think I am going in the right direction.

I think it is harder to start again as you get older and have to do everything alone.

Have other people have to go through this? tell me it gets better/worked out for the best, as I am having a bit of a wobble this week and feeling a bit down...
