just lately i feel like moving away to the other end of the country, starting afresh somewhere else, just me, dh and the kids. can't seem to shrug this feeling off.i feel like we may aswell as our extended family is useless.both me and dh feel the same. we feel like we are on our own completely with no support.Sad.his mum spends all her time in the pub with her new partner, his dad is dead.my mum lives nearby but never stays at my house for more than five minutes, ive got four kids and i don't think she can stand the noise/chaos.if i ask her to stay for tea, she always declines. however, she's always round at my sister's(who's got 1 child), she has meals there and stays for a few hours. my dad has emigrated and re-married. my other sister is'nt nearby and has a completely different life to us. im jealous of the sis that she spends all her time with, why i don't know. im turning into a sad, horrible person. it's like a little black cloud thats coming over me. i want to tell them all to pi## off then, we can manage fine on our own then thanks.

you can manage fine on your own. if you feel a fresh start will bring back your old happy self, then you should go for it!

bubblepop hope you're feeling better today. I think it is harder to have family nearby and they are no help than to have none around you iyswim

at least you don't feel resentful that you are not getting any help if there is no family nearby.
