Moving to a new area after divorce

[TwinkleTwinkleTwinkie]

Has anyone done it? Same city (I live in a large city) but a different suburb around 6-7 miles away from our village. I would know no-one at all, complete fresh start but completely daunting too. My village has so many memories of my children growing up, I know my neighbours (not close but just to chat to) regularly bump into familiar faces although I know those I’m closest to will stay in touch.

It’s daunting to think of starting fresh somewhere completely on my own with the kids. Knowing no- one in the local area at all. Scary stuff!

My eldest is in comp in the village but he’s only got a few years left.

Has anyone been in a similar position? Totally new area, knowing no-one!

I wouldn't say 6-7 miles is that much to be overly concerned about as long as you have decent transport options.
You'll still see any old friends and will make new ones.
I only knew neighbours to say a passing "hi" to and most of my friends I met when my daughter was at nursery or through work so we lived at least 5 miles away anyway.
I've bought a house about 3 miles away from my ex. It's a few villages away from the town he lives in and I like it. I like that this feels like its my village for me to make new memories without him.
