Hi all,
Has anyone here left children from previous marriages behind. If so would you be open to a private 'chat'. I need some advice please on what is a very sensitive subject. Thank you

Not from a previous marriage. I did leave my 19 year old there so not quite the same but still very hard.

Would you mind if I send you a pm?

We left a 23yr old behind at the time (eldest of 4), she is now 29 and married, happy to pm if you want.

we actually came to NZ to join our children, but I was 45 when we spent 2 years in Australia in the mid 1980s leaving behind our 18 yr old daughter but taking our 15yr old son with us . He wasn't very happy there and I was very unhappy without my daughter. eventually our son went home and we followed 5 months later. It is very hard if you've been used to having the kids close by in the UK, however old. Sorry to be a bit negative but that's how it was for us. we enjoyed a good social life and made friends, British and Aussie but I missed the kids and my parents.

We left our 19 year old son behind who was off to university (2003).
He still lives in the UK, with a very successful career.
