  1. Hi, Kiwiathome (previously known kiwiinoz, I think). I have been away from this forum for a long time. I knew one day I would reply back, as I had a comment posted at me, that I looked back at later, kiwiinoz used to post here unhappily. I don't remember who posted it, but soo true. This is a nice thread to return to as it is positive stories returning to the UK or any country. I am happily settled back in NZ for nearly 3 years. It is home for me. It is amazing when you return home, how peaceful and confident you feel. I don't want to say too much, just wanted to express that home really does matter. And you know when you are home. Life has moved on for me amazingly, but I do not think that this post it about that. When I left Australia after 8 years, came home, set my feet down with my family, I just had such a sense of peace, happiness and confidence. So to the comment I remember, yes I at times did post unhappily, there was a lot going on that wasn't good. However, now I am very happy. Good luck to you all and home is where the heart is. xx
  2. Hi Perthbum, nice to speak to you again. Yes I understand. I was desperate to move back to UK where I had soo many happy memories. But countries have changed. I think now more open mind, and find the country we can best live in, do good, go forth and have a nice life. I wanted to move back to the UK, but now, not so sure. It has become a difficult world in some ways. I think safety, support, peace, has become very important. I will probably not take my family out of NZ now. Quite a u turn. All the best.
  3. Hi Ozzie. I hope you receive this reply. It has been a long time since I have posted and I hope they do not move me. Yes, I am amazingly settled. Because I came home. You know deep down where home is. Your OH, with help, guidance and support, communication, deep down knows where home is. Once home you need a rest, recover, then clarify. Then you gain confidence and the world is your oyster. I don't think it is anywhere. Deep down we know where home is. Then we find strength, have a rest, recover, get excited, and go for it. All the best. xxx
  4. I was a senior member, not understanding why you are moving me. Can you not please, at this stage, as I would like to share my story and encourage and help. Thank you.
  5. Hi to all, I was Kiwi in Aus for some time. Determined to move back to UK, now happy in NZ. Home. I have not posted on here for a long time. Now I am. Two things I wish to clear up. When in Australia, which I hated, I did my best. But was not my true me. I turned to this forum because I was unhappy, had no or limited friends, and did not know who I was. Tension with my husband, he was always away with his career. Eventually I said enough, after 8 years, I am worth something, I deserve a career, I can not stand this country, not home. Long story short, we moved. We put family first and found ways to move forward. Husband left Virgin Australia (airline pilot) and has moved to China Easteran. Means we can move back to NZ. He is happier. Kids are happier. Brilliant schools, back with family. Since we have been home, HOME, the important word, all has fallen into place. Our kids are going guns. My husband has been head hunted by a university in aviation, with less stress overall. I have started a new job, in health administration, PA, and health assistant. None of this would of happened if we had not have moved. I appreciate this thread, because I posted here in my lonely times in a country I could not stand. Lasted 8 years. I am now back. Maybe briefly I do not know. But now back to say, you need to go where you are comfortable and strong to change things. When you are strong, contented, supported anything is possible. Time is not the answer. Things do not get better with time. It can get worst. Trust your instinct, and go for it. I can not believe how much our life has turned around in 12 months. The ripple effect. Change one thing, be positive, have hope, and anything wonderful can happen. From a very happy and contented Kiwi at home. xxxxxx Bless you all.
  6. Hi to all. Have not been on this thread for a long time. Been busy. Moved country to home. You can not heal if you do not listen deep down and move home. You have an instinct, listen to it. We left Australia after 8 years, hated it. It was wrong. Amazing how everything falls into place once you move home, or where you think home is. I was unhappy in Australia for 8 years, had only one friend, logged onto this because only friend because I was always doing wrong or out of loneliness. I appreciated all the comments, my first time back. I have moved soooo forward. I here to heal. You need to go home, make peace with family, and heal. Home is where you feel comfortable and relaxed, Feel inspired to help others. We left Australia after 8 years. It never got better. I got better after moving home. My marriage got better. I am starting work, but conclusion is, we have come home. f Find home, find support, release hurt, get strong and move forward. Forgive when needed. :wubclub:
