Question: 

My husband was a pastor in our local campus, he was released from the position but I have continued attending and only just changed campuses but there are still a lot of triggers and reminders even at a different venue - for example media clips that still include the affair partner who was also a member. I have considered changing churches and we are in the process of moving house, but I wondered if was advisable to move to a different country to effectively heal? Does that help? We are currently in the process of moving house and recently church campuses as mentioned, but the triggers and reminders are still there and very much evident and i feel like we will easily just fall into that pretend normal again. With the school system here if we had to move to a different town it would mean our children could possibly be out of school for a period which would be more disruptive so i wondered if there was a benefit of moving to a whole new country - change of scenery, routine, people, culture or is this just running away? Would removing us all from the current environment and investing proper time together as a couple and family without any other distractions, and to focus on the recovery work, even if just for a 2 year period, would it be more detrimental? or do you see benefits to it?
