Janeishly@MamaLake Realusing, shortly after you've done it, (or in the worst cases before, but you can't pull out by then) that the new place doesn't work either and you're going to have to do it again.
@janeishly this! Makes it so hard to get the ground under us when we have to continue living out of boxes while we work and look for another place. This just happened to my mom, finally moved into a rental (5 bedrooms! My mother's dream!) just to find that the landlord is an abusive stalker.
@MamaLake Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that. It's such a horrible, heartbreaking feeling after all the effort moving requires, both physical and mental. I hope she finds somewhere that actually works.
I finally managed to get somewhere with housing when I moved country, and then even more so when I moved to a third country. Here in Sweden I have my own detached place in a small quiet (enough) town. It's like heaven. People look at the place (and the house, which is big and a bit weird) and go "but why would you choose to live here?"
Because I actually *can* live here, unlike almost everywhere else I've ever spent time.
@janeishly it’s amazing when we find the place that just fits us, no matter what others think. Happy for you to have found your place!
