I currently live 300 miles away from my family - I came down here to university, had dd at the end of my first year and have stayed here since graduating. I really like it here (Devon) but I have no practical support. When dd is ill, I have to take the time off work. I do feel guilty that dd doesn't see her family as much as she could if we lived a bit closer. I am actually closer to dd's dads family than my own, despite not having a great relationship with him. I am now pregnant again, and my partner has just told me that he doesn't want to be with me anymore I am signed off work for two weeks with depression, and then I can start my maternity leave. I spoke with dd's dads grandma on the phone last night and she has encouraged me to go and stay there for a while to sort my head out. She has recently bought a house and renovated it and has said that if we want to I can move in with dd for as long as it takes for me to get settled. I am torn about what to do. In reality, there is not much holding me down here. I probably won't go back to my job after maternity leave, as it is too low paid to make it really worthwhile. But at the same time I am scared to cut my ties here. I have some good friends. If I moved back home I wouldn't know anyone. It just seems such a big decision to make. My family have never been hugely supportive, so it seems strange to me that my ex dps family are so lovely to me- I am not suspicious of it, I am just not used to people offering me help. WHat would you do? The more I think the more it seems a no brainer, but I would appreciate your thoughts.
