Should I move???

Question

3 months pregnant with 2nd child. Been having lots of extreme anxiety and depression. I have been staying a lot of nights at my moms- who lives 1 hr away. 
my lease is up at end of this month. Landlord wants to know if I am staying another year ( they are yearly leases) or if I am gonna move. It is a nice 3 bedroom apartment.
Family thinks I should move closer to them. 
I would be uprooting my 4 y.o and I am currently stqrting going to court with her dad- because our current order has expired.
 Should I move?? thoughts? Opinions?

Answer

Sounds like you need support from your family right now. With a new baby coming and court coming I would need all the support I could get. So if it was me, I would move closer to family!

Answer

We moved 900 miles to be closer to my family. They're amazing and so helpful. Especially now with #2 on the way I can't imagine living elsewhere. If your family is offering help I'd say take it.

Answer

I would absolutely move closer to family. It sounds like you need them now more than not. Speaking from a mom who has moved my children 3 times due to my husband's job relocating us- kids are resilient. Moving your child at 4 years old is nothing. You won't be "uprooting" them. If your kid was 12- then maybe.  But if you talk to your kiddo and present it as a fun adventure, we will be closer to grandma and grandpa, etc- they will be fine. Change always takes time but having family around seems like the most important thing right now. Long story short- I think moving is a wise choice.
