When I had a VERY vulnerable time, I moved to the same area as my parents, five mins down the road. I was at rock bottom and they offered significant money to help with the move. The house is nice, much better than my old one. It’s not a bad area and has plus points like good walks etc.
however, whilst my parents are financially supportive, any other form of support is lacking. My mum has said terrible things to me when I’ve not been coping. When I was suicidal one time they left to drive to the Lake District instead of coming to me when I begged for them to be there and instead they called a hospital and asked them to section me. This is just one example.
they say the most awful things if I need emotional support and as I’ve become stronger again I wish so much I hadn’t moved here. Obviously I don’t need to spend time with them and I do limit it but sometimes I feel uneasy that they are so physically close to my life. I haven’t been here long, four months. Will this get better? Can I feel like I am me again without their shadow?
they are not all bad at all but I remember when I left the area in my twenties I blossomed by being away from them. Obviously then I had been living in their house so a bit different. I just feel frustrated i made this move and whilst I am in a nice house I feel weird about my own autonomy. Maybe it’s psychological?
