Also, the first class tickets for the train were totally worth it.

Good luck, I hope you and your child find the UK to be less shitty than America. :)

Having emigrated to France with my kids in 2017, I think you're making a good decision.

Was this a similar move as with OP? Meaning you had preexisting ties to the country before moving?

actually no. when don the con got elected the first time, i saved up as much as i could, sold as much stuff as i could and just left. I was illegal in France for a while, but did eventually find a job that was willing to sponsor a visa for me. I had to go back to the states to get my visa issued, though, that took a few weeks. I've been here ever since, and yeah it's fucking hard to leave my family back home in the states, it's honestly much better to live here with my kids than there.
