Little background; my mum, dad and I moved here 12 years ago due to my dad needing to find work, at that point their marriage was on the rocks and my mum left our home country where we lived before and where she had a happy job and great friends, to raise me.

 Fast forward to now, my father has left the country after they separated. My mother continues to work here in a job she hates, which she may get fired from soon due to redundancies in her company. I know she is unhappy living here as she hates the weather(sounds silly but it's a big thing to her) she has friends but not the life long friends she had back home and absolutely no family here, they all live a continent away. I feel she's gotten increasingly unhappy in the recent years due to several personal factors and a bit depressed. 

I currently live with her and my SO, I'll be starting university this year and my SO works and will be starting college in the next month. We have joked about the idea of renting a place together and we both make enough money to get by as students, and our families are well off so if money did ever become a huge issue, we wouldn't really by left homeless or anything like that if we couldn't afford rent. 

We've been planning to sell our house for almost a year now as its too big for us, my mum wants to buy a place in the outskirts of our city as its a lot cheaper. I've told her a number of times that I do not want to do this as it would mean an hour drive back and forth into the city however she's a very stubborn woman. And doesn't want to leave me alone pretty much, which I appreciate hugely but she has given up so much for me to grow up well that I just want her to finally live somewhere she's happy doing a job she loves (she works part time self employed as well as her full time job, which she would be able to make a living out of back home) how can I get her to realise I'll be fine living without her and let her enjoy her life and be happy?
