I could really do with some advise. I am 34 with 2 teens of 13 and 14, I live in Northampton which is where I have lived all my life. However even though all my family are here I don't get any support and my family are constantly arguing and refusing to speak to me.
I met a very loving and understanding man a year ago with a very supportive family, he has taken on my teens and treats me like a queen, my dilemma is he has suggested we move near his family in Wirral, I know his mum would let us live at hers for a few months so we could find a place to rent and I am a health care assistant so work will be easy to find. And here is my dilemma, do I stay in my familiar town with no support or do I get brave and move to a new place but with a massive support network? I absolutely love spending time in Wirral with his family and his mum has been amazing, she drives down to Northampton to visit and has paid for my daughters bedroom to be decorated and has promised the same for my son. The reason I am seriously thinking this over is because last Friday I needed help with my daughter and none of my family wanted t help, in the end I had no choice but to take her to my boyfriends mums, this turned out to be a fantastic decision and despite my daughters protests she loves her time with my boyfriends family and did not want to come back.
The thing is I have secured a uni place next year and I am terrified of messing that up. I have been told it's very easy to transfer but I worry. Also the move would mean a new school and town for my kids. I have all sorts going around in my mind. I know the Wirral offers much better schools and there are 4 local universities against our local 1, it is safer for the kids with much much better opportunities. In theory this move could be the best thing I do but I am absolutely terrified to make the decision I want to make for fear of it failing.
If anyone can help and offer any advise then please please help! My head hurts from thinking so much 🤕😓🤔
