[quote=gilliantay;240004]I was not escaping family issues when I first started this visa malarkey but as time has gone on, I now find that it is one of the reasons why I can't wait to move.
My mum died suddenly last year - I was devasted and suppose I still am but I know for a fact that she would not have stopped me in any way, rather, she would have been behind me being the driving force.
Note the non mention of a father figure..........he left when I was very young.
My older sister already lives in Oz - then there is me hoping to get to Oz - brother just below me is emigrating to Canada next month which leaves the two younger brothers.....one is late 30,s, the other one was 40 yesterday and boy have they tested my patience since mum died.
I have in effect become a surrogate mum to them but they tend to forget that they are infact grown men !!!!
If I am being perfectly honest, I would even move to Alaska to get peace from them !!!
Is that bad ????

You deserve your peace. It's funny how adults often forget they're grown up and lean on their familly.
