Hon, if you are that miserably there, then if you think you can make it financially with the new apt, it could be for the best. Unfortunately, finances play a major role in our decisions. It does sound as though there are alot of amenities for you & your son, meet new people, close to your job, not feel so alone in an empty house in the country, especially if you hate yardwork!
lol. YT friends are here to give you pros/cons. We don't know all the details & what you're feeling inside. It does sound appealing for a fresh start!
I'd give the same advice to my daughter. You're doing the right thing by talking this out!
