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.
