You came at me with a hypothetical question, you asked for my opinion on the matter.
So you left the place where you grew up to escape the horrors of immigration and to be near the people you know, so basically ran then.
That's not good, can't be easy.
I didn't like it full stop, the house and garden weren't big enough and it was not the area I grew up in, we would have moved regardless. The area was quite peaceful in all honesty, not quite the horror story you paint.
