adele244 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 My heart completely goes out to you. It really is awful what they are doing and NO you shouldn't have to apologise for going but you did (how gracious of you!). They are acting in a very immature manner which is damaging and hurtful to all of you, including the grandchildren. I agree with you, that you have done everything possible and you can go with the knowledge that you gave it your all and they have turned their back on you. It has really, really upset me this, I cant believe what you are having to go through and you sound such a lovely person. You will be in my prayers tonight, sending you all my love and be strong!!!!

tina0101 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I really feel for you, but it does sound like they have forced your hand in telling the kids. Its hard, but now you should just concentrate on what goes in under your own roof - at the end of the day, what goes on within your four walls is the most important thing. It sounds awful but your parents will not be around for ever and if you give up on your dreams because of them you will regret it when you look back. Good luck xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerrards Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 We were granted our 189 visa on 23rd December, been a nice early Christmas present! Heading to Gold Coast in February. I survived my first Christmas in 41 years (hubby says that's weird in itself!) without any contact from my parents. It's been actually quite enjoyable,and the first one my husband has spent with his mum in 23 years!! It snowed today to and that was lovely. I'm obviously sad my parents stubbornness has let a Christmas go by but that is there choice. Here is to, I'm sure a challenging but enjoyable 2015.
