Should I move house yet again?

Never done this before. Here we go.
Last spring we bought our house. Then my husband fell off the roof. Ever since all I see is my husband covered in blood badly injured. The question is can a house be cursed? Everything has gone wrong since living here. No matter what we do the house does not feel homely. I have no bond with it since the accident.

Move if you want to but personally I think you're being a bit ridiculous.

Was it supposed to be your forever home?
Can you easily afford the cost of moving again?
Is your husband ok? What does he think?

Oh love, what a horrible thing to have happened.

It sounds as though you may have PTSD (and no wonder, in the circumstances). I think you might find that moving house wouldn't solve the problem because the memories will stay with you. I would go and see your GP and talk about this, as it is very, very possible to get treatment for this and feel a lot better.

There's no such thing as a cursed house. You're having a bad run of luck. When things go badly wrong in life, it's very tempting to think that there are sinister forces at work against you, because everything is so hard. But there aren't. It's just a reaction to stress and trauma.

I hope your husband survived the fall and is doing better now. Flowers

Sounds like ptsd to me. That must have been horrible to witness. Sorry for your loss op. Maybe try and seek some kind of therapy to get through it?

I'm so sorry. You do sound like you are still traumatised - and frankly I don't know many people who wouldn't be having had both of those awful things happen. I do think you sound like you need some additional support. I really hope you can get some extra help.

That sounds awful. No wonder it's still affecting you. What does your DH think? Have you sought counselling? I agree that it sounds as though you might have PTSD.
