Hi,
my my family is moving to Australia in 2016 and leaving me behind back in the UK. I'm currently at university and will finish in 2017 so I clearly can't go with them. (This will be a bit of a rant because I don't have anyone to talk to about it so sorry in advance) I'm really scared and sad, I get very upset about it. What I'm worried about is
a) whether they will be able to come back to the UK for my graduation (they said they will do it) in 2017. Will the government allow it? All I know is we all have permanent residency visas. I don't know anything else really
b) my sister who is 17 now is at college and doing a BTEC diploma thing in health and social care to go and do nursing. She is applying for both UK unis and AUS unis (hopefully) but does anyone know whether her course will be accepted? Probably no one will know but it's worth a shot. Will she be able to get student funding/financial aid etc like we do in the UK?
c) if (god forbid) a family member passes away eg my dad's parents, will the whole family be able to come home for funerals etc.
d) my parents won't allow me to talk about it with any of out extended family or family friends because it caused an argument last time and my friends don't really understand. How can I somehow make them aware I need that support? I think sometimes they think I'm a lot happier about it than I actually am, I lied to make them go. I only want to see them happy.
Oh and how on earth am I meant to say goodbye to my family and get myself back on the plane to the UK? I'm going over in all the uni holidays but it's still really sad. I'm upset about it all the time. Silly really I guess, I should be able to do this all on my own.
sorry for the rant, if I could find someone who has even just had someone who knows their stuff to help me out a bit that would be great, thanks
