Our son has always wanted to stay in the UK or Belgium and while he sort of settled here it has never really felt like home for him. I know that going back is the right thing for him at the moment and am happy that he has a reasonable support structure, it's just tough coming suddenly. I am sorting out my passport today so that I can take him over and am trying to talk him around to saving up some money and waiting until after Christmas to go as I also have to wait until school holidays. There is an element of impulse but I think that the overall decision is the right one if he can do it properly. Nicky

We have always known that this was a possibility that one of them would want to go back or somewhere other than Aus (we have travelled a lot before getting here and have 4 kids so the chances are high) but it doesn't make it any easier.

It has been a long time since I have been on the forums. We have been in Aus for over 8 years and now my eldest son (24 years old) is talking about going back to the UK to move in with his father. He has had a very bumpy ride here and after a relationship breakdown has decided to try to settle back in the UK. He has his citizenship here so can come back and although it is pretty gut wrenching for us, he has got family there to help. I just need some advice on the best way to help him. He has been diagnosed with schizophrenia but is stable with medication and he is hoping to get part time work as soon as possible. Thanks Nicky
