I moved out of London several years ago with now ex-dp and two small children. It’s not be an easy time, but things now are good. the DC (7&4)and I now live near family and have a great quality of life. They spend time with their dad, not quite 50/50 but not too far off.
I have a wonderful relationship with a new man. He’s based in London and no opportunity to move out with work and commitments. I really miss being in London and am there often as a visitor. I have a property which I rent out, but the DC and I could happily live in it…not forever, but certainly for the next 5 years as a minimum.
I’m considering moving back. I miss friends, the sense of potential, galleries, museums, music, big parks full of people, work opportunities and my property.
would I be mad to move us back? They would have to move to new schools, they would be further from their grandparents, the situation with their dad would need to change…that all feels scary but workable. But I would then be a single parent without family support, in need of a new job, and filled with guilt about uprooting them again.
Any thoughts anyone?
