Year out dreams or ideas

[ctrlaltdelete1]

Life is completely getting on top of me at the moment so I’m looking for an escape.

AIBU for wanting to take my family away for a year somewhere?

Where should we go? And how can we make it happen?

It would be me, DP and DS5.

YABU if this thinking is Abandonment driven - are your problems likely to follow you?

Are you avoiding dealing with something instead saying ahh we will just leave!

What issues will be solved by going?

What new issues will you face by going?

Can you earn? Is it proven? Where will you live? Do you need to co soder schooling? Is everyone wanting to leave or are you making decisions without consultation?

What aspects of life are getting on top of you? If e.g. working full time whilst juggling childcare, could that be more feasibly solved by reviewing whether one or both of you could work part time for greater flexibility?

Just heading into the sunset on a dream is hard. It’s hard settling in a new country. It’s even harder if you don’t speak the language. Harder still if you’d be doing it on a shoestring budget. Can you afford a year out on savings? Would it leave you, a year down the line, even more stressed because you’d need to return home and sort out life without them?
