Glittering Prize

Agree with Northernbird....my beautiful adopted daughter has Anti social personality disorder it's been a struggle and I do worry about what her future holds not just with platonic friends but within a long term relationship. Personally I wouldn't won't to be her friend

Hi Rainman, sorry this is my first post but been lurking around for ten years Yeah one of those people that don't have a lot to say. Been here in Australia for 11 years and can totally relate to you post, only hubby has no interest in going back to the Uk. We have 2 girls 21 and 19 both studying and the eldest has a boyfriend of 3 years. Hubby works shift work over the 7 day week, I work part time in a job I'm ok with. Between us I would say we earn a comfortable amount of money although I feel it doesn't seem to stretch so far here? Maybe. I'm out of touch but I'm sure our money went a lot further in the Uk. We use to live in the SouthEast and at the age of 51 I have a strong pull to move back there. It seems like at least your family are semi set up to going back but I can totally understand your predicament. Not any easy decision to make. I wish you well in what ever you decide to follow through with.
