[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't move just yet. You are just emerging on the other side of this experience, the trauma is still fresh. Give yourself a little time to recover and see if you feel better about everything. Maybe plan to spend one more year in the house and sell in Spring 2018 if you still aren't happy? In the upcoming year, your husband can get his health back, you can do some therapy for yourself. (To try to come to grips with/make peace with what you've been through.) You can enjoy extra time with your parents, and  do all the tick prevention treatments and see how a summer goes. You may still want to move back, but maybe you'll have a different perspective. As you noted, there are risks and dangers everywhere. [/quote]

+1.  It takes a long time to adjust to a new place, make friends, feel comfortable.  I think you might have been struggling to like your new home without the Lyme and the Lyme has obviously made it significantly worse.  But I think you might be rash in moving away now, it's only been about 18  months, right?  My vote is to set a deadline for yourself (perhaps one more year?) and then do everything in your power to enjoy your house/town now, including therapy.  I think it's easy to imagine that moving somewhere else will fix everything (in fact, I do that all the time myself) but I think that is not often the case.  [/quote]

Consider therapy, or if you don't think that's the issue, just some time for you and your family to heal and recover.  Agree to revisit the issue in a year.  Or 6 months.  And in the meantime, self-consciously caption the issue and try to make good memories, engage with the community, and otherwise try to live the life you had imagined.[/quote]
