Hello Moonwalker.
I do feel for you, as I have been in the same situation! I left NSW in August with my daughter after a painful 2 years. It was a very hard decision but I had to leave for my own sanity & my families.I Left my 17 year old Son to finish his HSC also My husband. My son is now back in the UK after 3 months apart, My husband left Australia but decided to get a job in the Middle East. He loved Australia but decided it was too far away to travel to see his family. It's a really hard crossroad not knowing what is the right thing to do, I believe keeping the family together , but I couldn't cope any more thinking I would never return home! It's hard coping and having to do thing here on my own but that's the path I decided to take. We are a lot happier now its not the ideal situation with OH working away. I hope everything turns out good for all of you .
