Moving away

I dont want to say too much about my situation - but if anyone has read fab phee posts my situation is pretty similar, but been going on for a few months more. I have asked him to leave (although he is still in the house with me) which is pretty shit. When he goes he will move an hour away from us to be with someone new.
My kids have not yet started school - although they are set to in September. My problem is we only moved here very recently and I have nobody - literally noone to rely on for love and support at this time. Is it unreasonable of me to move away to be nearer old friends and family and to start again? A clean slate and a fresh start is what I want more then anything.
I want the kids to have an ongoing relationship with ex - they love him - and I know that will be more difficult if I move away - Im just very afraid of what will happen to me being so very isolated and vulnerable at this point. I am also ill and grieving my father who I lost at the begininng of the month.

I think you need to look after yourself and kids. It's not like he's going to be next door, he's moving an hour away afterall!
Get yourself back to decent friends and family who can support you all. Before the kids start school is perfect timing. Flowers

It has to be better for you and your do for you to move nearer your friends and family. In fact, it would be daft not to. You are going to need those people in your life. It is the best thing for you, your children's mother and therefore it is the best thing for them.

What is stopping you moving before he does?

Money - he is stalling over financial agreement - there is alot of money involved and we are not married. It is in joint account though - but want to end as amicably as I can.
