Moving areas

[Clarasmum444]

I'm about to sell the house as I've been struggling financially to live there since ex moved out. I kept it on so dd could finish secondary school. Ex is having half the equity and I'm a low earner which means we can't afford to stay in the town with live now. I've found a nice area just over an hour away. Dd doesn't want to move, I've tried my best to compromise by saying she can travel to college on the train so she can still see her friends, I'm not going to force her to change college but she still isn't happy. Things between me and her dad are very bad at the moment so I just want out of this house rather than asking him if we can stay until she's 18. Am I being selfish?

Can she stay with Dad? (Assuming he lives in the area?
I don't think you're being selfish op, as it doesn't sound like you have much choice, but I can see why she wouldn't want to move.

@CorneliaCupp no, her dad moved to a village in the arse end of nowhere with his new family a few years ago. To be honest I don't think he'd want her and she wouldn't be able to get to college or back to this town on public transport, well she
would eventually but it would take longer. I totally see why she doesn't want to move which is why I feel so awful. She's know about it for years but I think now the time is coming it's really hit home.

You can't afford to stay where you are. Sometimes shit happens. She will need to suck it up. Once she is an adult she can decide where she lives and she will also learn how expensive a home is.
