Blimey Wessa ! You've been through the mill ! Glad you've got a fresh start coming and you must be looking forward to getting your son home to Christchurch.

Hope it all works out for you. Does your son and your girlfriend get along ok ? Hope your son settles into his new school ok. Sounds like he's got a lot of changes to adjust to at such a young age.

This isn't a rebound relationship for you and your EPIC new girlfriend is it ?

That's sad and happy at the same time.
I can't help reading it as your wanting to come to NZ and coming out without your family in tow essentially leading to the break-up of your long-term relationship.
It seems like your partner never really wanted to move to NZ? Is she really happy to kiss goodbye to her 13 year old at this point?

Family break-up seems to happen a great deal to posters on here although the strain on the relationship usually comes after arrival.
