I am another one who is wanting to go home. I have never felt settled here. The more the days pass the more I want to leave. It will be 30 years in October since we moved down under. I want to return with my children. My biggest issues are... the ex husband - he doesn't see the kids at all as he is totally wrapped up in his new life. The kids will be 14,15 & 17 by the time we go if we do. And my other stumbling block is my current partner. He wants to stay here and save up for as long as possible before going over. Whereas I just want to go! I am looking at flights now for April next year as I have a wedding to go to. I don't see the point of going over all that way for a wedding and spending all that money for the 5 of us to only then turn around and come back to Aus for a few more months. ?
