Hello to everyone
Hello,
I am so pleased to have found this forum, it has given me so much information already!!
We moved from England out to Tennessee in Dec 06, me, my husband and 2 boys (then 14 + 18)..we set up a subsidiary of the company we had been running in the UK.. we have had difficulty settling, and now the company is backing out of the USA and we are about to loose our jobs... We are in our late 40's early 50's and have struggled to settle into the surrounding culture, but our kids have spread their wings and are enjoying the opportunities that the USA has given them... we now have to decided whether to stay and find jobs/self employment etc or go back home....!!!!!

to BE.Many of us struggle with the decision of whether to return to the UK and leave our adult children behind...or stay here.
Most of our members living in the US hang out in the US forums. Why don't you take a look around and say hello? Please give me a shout if you need assistance with anything site related.
