Just that really.
For context, I'm a single mum to an 8 year old DS.
I have my own house (with mortgage) and a stable, well-paid job.
DS settled at school and has lovely friends and get social life, including lots of activities and sports etc.
For reasons that I don't want to go too deeply into on here, I need to make a clean break away from my parents. Both are toxic and emotionally abusive (in different ways). My DS is close to them (they're not abusive to him but think nothing of constantly disrespecting me in from of him). He'd miss them if we move away but I no longer feel I should compromise my mental health and wellbeing just to accommodate them seeing him.
DS is also very happy at school and cried at my suggestion we move away. I tried to sell it to him as us moving somewhere nicer, by the coast, but he wasn't having it.
I'm currently in the north (big inner city area) and would love to relocate somewhere maybe like Devon or somewhere else on the coast.
Which coastal areas can people recommend... Nowhere too expensive and also with a bit of diversity in terms of different ethnic. Low crime and good schools are a must too. Any ideas?
