I am another one with a boring answer.

I am very close to my family. My mum is practically my kids second mum. I honestly believe the move to Oz will kill her.

Let me explain, my parent went to live in Spain when my youngest child was 8 months old. (They didnt ask how I felt funnily enough) just decided one day to sell up and go to the sun) It was a huge shock to myself and my brothers, but we didnt say anything to put them off just wished them luck.

My mum became very homesick and got very stressed with it all. They eventually decided to move back here, only to find they could not afford a house/or even flat. So they moved into a caravan!!! I suppose the caravan could have helped trigger what happened next but no one can say for sure.

One morning my mum woke to find she was having a heart attack, she nearly died and was in hospital for a long time. The doctor said he thought the stress she had for all the years in Spain (3 years) and then coming back, when she started to relax this is what may have triggered the heart attack. Anyway now most of you have logged off with boredom I get to my point.

Do I do the same and go to Oz. I cant be like them I do care what my family think and dont want anyone to suffer, but I also dont want my kids to have a crap life I believe they will have if we stay in britain. I dont want my kids to start hanging round the shops and smoking, drinking and being bored enough to do something even more stupid than the things I have just listed. What do I do for the best. Dont want my mum to get so stressed it causes another heart attack that could be fatal.
