Has anyone just felt like just packing up and moving away?

i dont mean because a hard day at work or because of a bad hair day...

I've got 2 kids and a husband working his balls off money. were doing ok at the mo but have had a massive arguement with some reletives that live close by and is hard to dela as they are childish- ive got the strain of coping with depression after having my second child and all this on top of it all plus with my hubby working early till late, its all just getting to me.

I feel like just packing up and moving away, i mean move half way round the uk or something or a holiday or soemthing as cant cope with all this strain and am finding it exhausting me and feel really down.

What do you think i should do? i dont mean councelling or talking to the gp but should i move and start a new life with my family to get away from all the agro on our doorstep, as moveing is no probs with us if means will have better life. Or do you think its just a holiday i need?

anything to get away fom here........

Hell yeah, family is a big pain in the rear, no matter how much we love them.

I just took a month long vacation with my hubby and ended up having the family (both his and mine) bug us while we were away and having major drama when we got back. So a vacation might not do it.

Look into areas that you are interested in, especially if there is someplace that your husband can transfer from work. Check out the schools ratings in the areas, the crime rates, etc. And then do it. It doesn't have to be that far. Just as like was stated above, far enough that you have your privacy and no family will just drop by, but have to call first cuz your that far. But then again, I myself prefer staying close enough by that if an emergency happened, I could be there with in a few hours drive at least.

I live in California (near los angeles) and I am planning on moving to Las Vegas later this year. Its a five hour drive. But it's to finish my degree in law, but I might stay, but then again I might get a little homesick and eventually move back a little closer once I'm all done with school. But I swear, I will never live closer than an hour's drive from my family. I need to live my own life, without them sticking their nose's all in it everyday.

I believe I will love them more without having to deal with them ALL THE TIME.

Good luck!

If you're not sure, maybe start with a holiday and then see if your life is better or if you need to stay away so then you can move and make it permanent.

Has anyone just felt like just packing up and moving away?

YES !! constantly wish to move away and start over, but then realize if the same problems didn't follow me (us), there'd just be a whole set of new ones more than likely. It is tough.

I think you need to stop having children. Because you see dear they are the ones suffering more here than you think you are.

take a deep breath. you need a break. i get like taht sometimes and i have 4 kids. your just stresssed out. if you pack up and move away tat is selfish. you got kids to think about. our family we keep to ourselves to avoid conflicts and getting involved in crap like that. our family is allspread out so we dont see them everyday. yall should go on a trip or something somewhere where yall dont have to think of anything. or you just need to just get out og the house and go to a new scenery in my opinion.

I like to classify my depression into 2 categories, circumstantial and chemical....you have both.

The fact that you have a new baby and feel depressed is chemical. Go see your Dr. you can receive treatment for this depression.

The fighting with the family and your husbands hours cause circumstantial depression. If you move will your husband work less? Do you have to associate with the people you are fighting with in the future? If your husbands hours do not change and there is still strain with the family...moving won't change it.

Get treatment for your baby blues and take a holiday. When you return you will feel refreshed and you will be able to look at the situation with a clearer head. Then you can make the decision to move if necessary...Good Luck

My ex is a workaholic. I had 2 babies - 19 months apart - he wouldn't come home til midnight. We bought a house that we completely renovated, he would work from 7am at his job, get off around 6, work on the new house. We lived with his family - they were all about "family" and how selfish I was because I wanted out. I did not get married to be a single mom. He always had an excuse "we live too far away from the city - I hate the commute" "we bought this new house" "you spend too much money" it was crap!! Counseling - he showed up late to the first appointment - half an hour late. Everyone kept telling me "He loves you, he is not cheating, he is not abusive - what's your problem?" - my problem is that I wanted a family, not just two kids by myself.

We split up, it was just too much for me. I do not regret my decision. He makes time for his kids - he is a great father to the, He is there for them financially. I have a wonderful fiance that I love who adores me and my children. I can't tell you what to do. I just know that that crap gets to you. I feel I made the right decision - but reading this reminds me how trapped and angry and depressed I felt.

I can't tell you what to do - but for sure get away for a minute. Take some time for you. See if you can stay with your mom or another family member for a few days. Good luck to you, I feel for you.

Consider want it is you want to accomplish then

do some research . 8 yrs ago I moved

from ohio to texas. Was it perfect? No.

Did it help me reach some of my goals? Yes.

For instances I wanted better opportunity for

myself wife and children. I got it. I wanted a nice

home . Got it. I wanted to live in an exciting area.

got that. However everything has a price.

I do miss some friends and I`ve taken some bumps and bruises for sure. For us it was the right

move.

Tell your Husband we got plenty of work in Texas

Not only have I felt like doing it, I have done it. It was the best thing I ever did!

Also when I was choosing my house after my hubby and I got married, we sat down with a map and put all of our relatives houses on the map as well as our workplace, calculated how long of a drive it was for them to get to our home to visit and how much time we were willing to drive to work and looked outside the circle of distance for them to just drop in.

What that achieved, was they have to phone and request to visit and it's up to us if we want their company or not now. No one just drops in, it's too far for them to drive.

I could never live so close to a relative that they can just pop over, I need my privacy as does my hubby.

If you move, you'll be damaging your kids for life. If you leave them behind, they'll always wonder why their mom didn't love them enough to stay, no matter what you tell them. If you take them with you, they'll always have a daddy-sized hole in their hearts, no matter what you tell them.

Take a serious look at your relationship. You vowed to be with this man until you die. You made a sacred oath. That's nothing to be taken lightly. Yeah, we all feel like we want to chuck it all and look for something better, but I promise you, your happiness lies inside you, not in any given destination. Attitude is everything.

If you need a holiday, take it. But use that time to adjust your own thinking and attitude about your life, your relationship with your husband and your relationships with your kids. Your kids crave a loving, stable home with a loving stable mom.

Can you give that to them?

Has anyone just felt like just packing up and moving away?

Yes, I've felt that way before. It was a time with my son's were little toddlers, I had a husband, working full-time and going to school part-time. Along with other drama that tag along because that's how life is. We can't live without having some type of issues. It's our job to deal with our problems the best way we know how and we must remember that whatever decision we make it's going a affect others around us.

It is my advice for you not to run, but to search within and figure out how you can make the situation better for yourself and your family. Running never solves anything. Face the problem head on and think of ways of improving who you are.

me... i moved to another place for my college study...

and right now, i feel like going back to my province... cause i miss the people there... i miss their comfort and the less stress...

the city is just full of pollution and dangerous people... plus my studies is stressing me already....

seeing pictures back home makes me just want to leave this place, but hey, i have to finish my study.... but dang, i really badly want to go spend time there.

my advice for you is PATIENCE... every action has its consequence so think thoroughly of what will be the effects if you run away... i advice you not to. Just take a holiday.

as what I've learned, every place has its "up side". Find something to fill your need or to fill that gap in your feeling/

Let me also narrate a similar problem. Our family also has neighbors (which are our relatives). They badmouthed us from the very start and the argument even went up to the government yadda-yadda blah-blah, they never stopped even. You get the picture.

But we did not run away. Cause if we do we'll look defeated. i know its a matter of pride but no, it is also a matter of ignoring and living our life without them--ignoring them to say the least...

everything will work out fine, just look at the better side. and spend time with people who are on to the brighter side as well... your place has wonderful things there, i bet, so go and search for it

You can run away from your family, but you can't run away from yourself.

Has anyone just felt like just packing up and moving away?

Running away won't help anyone's problems. If there is any sort of problem that's unfixed and untended to they have a way of finding you again. You should be focusing on enjoying those little ones you have
