Hi all. I am a parent to a 22 yr old daughter and 17 yr old son. I have been a single parent for the past 11 years. I work as a nurse and have been in the same job for 10 years. Initially it suited me as the job hours were great for when the kids were young. I now feel I am becoming de- skilled and that it is time to move on. I have the opportunity to take up a promotional post but it is 100 miles away. Neither of my children want to come with me- I have asked... But I want the job...I feel torn as my son is not happy at me going. My parents live close by as does my sisters his gran. His father lives away too- he does not want to go and live with him either. I could go and continue to pay for the house here, his food etc... He is no longer in school and is working part time...He thinks I should stay here until he is about 20 yrs old..his sister also will remain in the family home if I go. I am totally torn...any other mums been in a similar situation? Tips etc would be great...Thank you in advance.
