[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A year and a half ago my family moved from DC to our "dream house" in semi-rural New England. (Vibrant town with great schools, movie theater, arts and community life, but a 90-minute commute from NYC on a good day. We work from home.) We were extremely familiar with the town -- I grew up there, and my husband grew up near by. We bought a big, old, rambling house that was very overgrown and started to restore it, clearing the jungle-like four acres of land so our kids could have the play space that we always dreamed of for them. It was like an article from Elle Decor!
There was a problem, though. [b]Literally the day that we did our home inspection, my husband got bitten by a tick and got Lyme disease. We never saw the tick. Since[/b] we were still in the process of moving and our doctors were in Washington, they didn't catch it and the disease quickly progressed. Even though we were both natives of the area, we didn't make the connection either -- we didn't know though that Lyme disease had rapidly spread in the last 20 years due to certain suburban development patterns, and we associated the sickness with a simple bulls' eye rash and a few aches and pains, instead of full-blown neurological symptoms...

There is absolutely no way you could possibly know what day your husband was bit by the tick.  Presumably, you both were outside looking at the acreage prior to purchasing a home. Presumably you were also outside in different places in the same area prior to purchasing the home.  You sound histrionic and a little paranoid. I think that you've built this up and air blaming the house everything that's going wrong in your life. It does sound impulsive and reckless to make this decision however if you truly hate the house I don't think anything will change your mind because of how you've crafted the situation in your mind.
