Hi Moonwalker,
I was in the same position as yourself, I arrived in Oz back in 2010, 8 months in then the homesick started to sink in. I came for hubby's job & chance of a lifetime. We brought a 16 year old and my daughter who was then 8. I wanted to go home after 8 months crying as everyday went by. I stayed an extra year down under, but very unhappy. My husband loved Australia having his expanded family close at hand. I however lost my father in the UK while out in OZ. I made my mind up that after 2 years enough was enough I boarded the plane only 6 weeks ago with my daughter and now have no regrets. My son is still in Oz until his HSC exams finishes but will return in November. My husband is currently looking for work in the middle east when he returns with my Son. It's not exactly how I imagined my life to turn out, but I know exactly how you feel.I gave it my all after 2 years, but had to come to a decision. my Daughter is very happy back at her old school with all her friends. I have just enrolled on a college course,
It took a lot of guts that day to walk on the plane more than it would to stay in a country that I didn't feel I belong. I hope you can sort things out together. Good luck
