I am making a snap decision to move to Ireland from Japan to take me and my three-year-old son away from ongoing domestic violence.

I would like any information anyone here has on where we could possibly stay and where I, as a teacher that specializes in teaching children, could work. Any other tips and tricks that first-timers to Ireland could use would also be helpful. We are both American citizens, but the goal is to create a permanent home in Ireland due to our current situation.

The full story is posted here:

Please note the community it’s posted in, and that I’m not making such a request here. I’m simply asking for information and advice. But if you feel so generous as to help in other ways, we would greatly appreciate it.

If you have questions or need additional information, please ask. Feel free to message me directly if you want to keep the conversation private.

Thank you.

but why ireland of all places?

Multiple reasons. The biggest ones being that I am primarily of Irish descent.

Based on the research I’ve done so far, Ireland seems like a place that doesn’t have the systemic problems that we are currently suffering from.
