Wow, you did have a rough start! We felt bad enough leaving my Parents and they were supportive ( I.e hid their agony from us, or tried to ). To be honest, My guilt at leaving everyone has only just gone ( well,it's slightly still there) and its 5 years ago that we moved over. We went to Geelong near Melbourne first and my Parents visited but weren't to keen on the place. We moved to the Gold coast 2 years ago and my Parents spent 2 months with us here recently. They absolutely loved it here and are planning on coming over twice a year. Hence my guilt lifting All the best and remember it can take up to 2 years to settle completely.
