AIBU to share my excitement and sadness with you all?

Those of you here who supported me and coached and helped me.

I’ve had my offer accepted on my very first home. I’ve managed to fund it myself, it’s a little way out of my area but still without 15mins on the main road.

ive told most important people that I’m finally separating from my ex who frankly couldn’t care less and constantly asks me when I’m going.

yet to tell children and will only do that once I’m further down the line of buying and something is solid

but am I unreasonable to be excited AND sad. I teeter between happy and proud and deeply sad and scared. This home is all I’ve ever know for the last 13 years and I thought I’d be here forever even though it’s not really my home and I’m totally unwanted and have been for years and years.

I've not read your previous threads but you're not unreasonable for feeling sadness or grief for the life you've had or the life you wanted, nor are you unreasonable for feeling happiness and excitement at a new chapter in life.

Wish you all the best.

Congratulations on finding your new home!

I think it's completely normal to be both excited and sad in your situation. You are experiencing a big change in your life. Feel the feelings. Move forward.

Good luck! I wish you all the best.

Of course your feelings are understandable. I don't know the background but it sounds like you haven't been treated very nicely. Hopefully once you're in your new place, the sadness will lessen and you can look forward to a brighter future. Take care of yourself lovely 💐
