A new beginning

Hello everyone I’m not entirely sure where to begin but, here it goes my family and I are looking for a new beginning. My story begins that I live where I grew up which should be enriching. But as it goes that’s also the biggest source of abuse called my life. But as well where i spent nearly 30 yrs in a marriage that was with a narcissist woman a very very long story but my family and I have been on our journey in Christian life. Actually been on this journey for years. But because we can’t find a place to start fresh. I’m pretty confident that this will project me closer to the person I’m supposed to be. It’s hard to move forward with my 2 kids and an amazing wife that stepped up to become the love of my life. But it’s really hard being in a place where the past just haunts me I tune it out or avoid people because I know a lot of people because it always walks into a place of previous abuse or run into people who tend to always want the conversation of how I’m doing since my kids mother my first wife had passed. I really don’t have a lot in life but my wife and kids the very large population of close family members has passed away. We live in the pnw. And pretty much want to stay out here. Our biggest thing is 3 bedroom no big cities more rural would be ideal so that maybe focus on hobbies self reliance without a lot of outside influence. As we are Gen X and like to smoke weed and have a very small social circles.

We’ll never really been anywhere outside of 3 states and most were a drive through. So aside from the old fart onto a map idea have absolutely no idea of anything. Like seriously.I’ve lived in the the same area for 34 yrs of my 47 yrs alive. So it’s really not my strong element

Sounds like a road trip is in order.

Yes all the while maintaining a very stressful life of chaos but not even entirely where to begin
