I am a single mum who lives in a small country town. I moved here not by choice but it's where my family overtime had moved too. Being a single mum I just assumed that my life here would be better than the life of DV I had before I moved.
But the truth is I have been here almost 3 years and I have never been more lonely before in my life.
I am struggling in every single area of my life. Money, with my family, with the friends I thought I had, making new friends and finding a job!
Every single day is a struggle and most days I cry.
I try and live by the mantra of being happy for what I have and grateful for what I have!
But most days it hard.
My son has health issues that require me to drive 3 hours to the nearest town and I don't own a car! Everything is just getting me down and dragging me down.
I have considered moving to somewhere new to try starting all over again.
My son loves it here and the school he goes to.
I guess the question is should I just wait and hope everything gets better or take the chance and move somewhere new to start over??
Should I make a new start or wait and hope things get better??
Should I make a new start or wait and hope things get better??

Aw sweets I'm sorry your in this place. It sounds like your heart and head are already telling you what you need to do. I'm a firm believer in "change nothing, nothing will change" maybe you just need to leap xxx
When i left i found myself in a small town it served its purpose and after awhile i started getting itchy feet and knew nothing was happening there. So i moved and its been the best thing.
I think we just need a stopover to regroup and as we get back on our feet our needs change we're ready to move forward again.
