I appreciate the responses, perhaps gives me a better rounded opinion than I have had before. Thanks, food for thought

Hi all. Myself and my husband and our 2 young kids are hoping to move to Perth. I’m a GP and husband plans to look after the kids till they are both at school. We have toyed with the idea of a move to Oz for years, and now given the state the UK is in with Brexit and just a growing disdain for the awful weather here in Scotland, we feel that now is the right time. After 2 amazing holidays in Oz in recent years we feel Perth is the place for us. I am extremely close to my parents and sister, and my parents are very close to my kids. Needless to say that are devastated (their words) at the thought of us moving away and are not at all keen on the idea of the flight to Oz (they have never been as they are determined not to like it because they know we love it). They are not supportive or understanding of why we want to move (better money, better life, better weather, new opportunities). I have had a very difficult conversation with them recently on the fact we are seriously considering this which has been followed up by them with a series of very emotional texts which are simultaneously making me angry and also feel guilty. However I really do feel a move to Perth is best for my young family and I at the very least want to give it a try for a couple of years. Any advice for how to deal with telling my family this? Please tell me all the heartache is worth it? Thanks in advance
