Hi Natalie

yep that is the sort of reaction I am getting

Australia is stupid, the culture is stupid

I just don't want to go

I am very sympathetic to how difficult this move could be, but I know from my great wise old age (45!) that 3 years study will fly by, she will make new friends and will stay in touch with the ones she has know, most of them will still be her friends in years to come

I went into Connextions today, I asked her to go in last week, which she did, but they offered her a career support talk, when what I asked her to do was try to talk to someone about the situation and try to get things in perspective
so I went in and explained a bit, embarrassed myself by crying - but they rang her and she is going in tomorrow

All I want is for her to actually face what is happening and talk it through with someone who can hopefully help her work through the options

I am fast loosing any hope that she will actually give Melbourne a try, this also disappoints me as I really thought she would be more sensible about it all

ah well, life would be dull without them
