She says that Molly has been accepted into a prestigious music school and she doesn't think it's right to disturb her daughter's DJ, who loves school.
In her column she said: “We're moving next month and we haven't packed anything yet. We are not prepared! I will be very sad to leave this house because it is beautiful and we really get along with our neighbors. It is a shame.”
But Kerry confessed her £2million Cheshire mansion has become too cavernous and she needs a home that is more manageable, day to day.
“I want a house to feel really homely and this is so big I can't stay in it. In the new house there will be less mess to clean up after the kids, and it's still close to DJ's school. We gotta get going and start packing!”
Kerry has had a torrid time of late after undergoing nose surgery to repair the damage caused by years of cocaine abuse.
Following her ordeal, the 43-year-old confessed that she was not impressed with her fiancé, Ryan Mahoney. who, she says, could not support her emotionally.
Kerry admits she had to rely on her mother instead. She said: “I would like to say a huge thank you to my mother who has been my rock over the last few weeks.
I stayed with her and she really took care of me. If I'm honest, I've felt lonelier than ever during my recovery. Ryan was away getting a tattoo in London when I went to hospital and I haven't seen him since my surgery over a week ago,” Kerry explained.
“That upset me because it made me feel unsupported and I could have used the emotional support. I am always the 'strong mother' in our house and this week I really wanted to be taken care of and have him here, but I had my mother instead.”
As if Kerry hadn't been through enough, she also recently revealed that she had recently been hospitalized for endometriosis. A condition in which tissue from the uterus implants in other organs such as the ovaries and fallopian tubes, causing pain and fertility problems.
She said: “I ended up in hospital because the main flow was so serious. The doctor said I had released an egg but instead of passing through the blood it went to my stomach and I have never had pain like this and they gave me morphine. Today I got my period and I didn't even know I was getting my period. I'm 43, so hopefully that will stop soon.
