Currently live in a council house with gardens, decent sized bedrooms on a street of mainly ex council houses now privately owned for £400 per month. Sounds ideal but I just can't settle here, it's near where I grew up which has lots of bad memories attached to it. I obviously knew this when I accepted the house but thought I could get over my issues for the sake of the opportunity for secure tenancy in a relatively nice area. However I've found since we've moved here my anxiety has raised, I'm nervous and unsettled. My Dh and dcs love it here so I do not want to bring down their happiness with my unhappiness by complaining/ moaning ( although this is how I feel inside!).
WIBU to suggest moving to private rental to Dh when him and the children are settled here? I wouldn't want to go too far, maybe the next village ( 2 miles) which is a 'nicer' area, better schools lovely village but the rents would be £700-£800 so basically double what we pay here and not as secure as council tenancy.
Do I just stay and try and work through my 'issues' or move for the sake of my mental health?
