Come and live in faversham – affordable and close enough to London! Lots of great countryside – not sure about jobs though. Hope you find what you are looking for. I have read dozens of self- help books but no obvious recommendations.

Thank you for sharing your current situation; it sounds complicated, interesting and full of potential! One website you may find useful is anunclutteredlife.com. Also, during times of transition, it might be helpful to bolster your optimism with a book like The Happiness Advantage by Shawn Achor. Once you start finding a direction, there are lots of coaching websites for building a business. Oh, maybe bemorewithless.com would be helpful; she has a couple of courses on small businesses.

All the best to you!

A few years ago I was in a very similar situation to you, but without the children with Asperger’s. My husband gave up a senior post in local government to start his own business as a consultant/interim manager. After a few years we moved from our large family home in a dreary town in Kent to the south coast. I live near enough to a vibrant city to enjoy it when I want to, but retreat to my calmer area when I need peace, and we are a few miles from the glorious South Downs. Life couldn’t be sweeter. Follow your heart, as if your heart isn’t happy your head never will be. And wishing you both the best of luck in this new chapter of your lives.

Gosh, you’ve been through a lot lately! I think when there’s so much going on, taking time to review your options is a good thing. I think doing some dreaming, listing your wishes, then prioritizing might help in the process.

I am at that stage in my life that I am wondering where I’d like to be, etc. Moving is something on our list to but the question is when? There are so many factors (and people of course) involved.

I love that painting, by the way! Good luck!

You certainly have a lot of variables! No doubt that whatever you decide to do will foster your immense talents:) Looking forward to seeing where you land. xo P.S. Rural Canadian real estate relative to London is very inexpensive… Just saying xo

Yup, it’s great to have so many interests when the going gets tough. Launching aspie kids into Adulthood is a tough time. Good luck.

Sounds like you are ready for change which ever form it should come in otherwise you would not be contemplating it. My 17 year old daughter has Aspergers too and if it wasn’t for my creative side I think I might have gone loopy. The next chapter needs to be about you and your husband, your children are doing well and they are starting they’re own lives. Maybe there’s some kind of middle ground you can find where you can see more of your husband, your friends don’t disappear if you move, you just plan how to see them in advance and your never to old to make new ones! I recently joined a fortnightly quilting class and made lots of new friends. Life is for living, loving and sharing x
