Guys
Im sorry to hear about the problems you are having with the in-laws and families in general. We are very lucky in that my in-laws are very supportive. Dont care what my parents think as having spoken in 10 years!! When god was handing out maternal feelings I think he missed my mum!!
Good luck and hope things get better for you all.

It's the opposite for me really. My mum is going on 84, and has just had to go in a residential home, as she is now very frail & we think she has has just had another stroke. I'm going to Sydney at the end of this month on a 457 Visa. I can't put it off as the new boss is desparate for me to get over there. (Never even considered going to Oz before got a job offer in April, now we're going - long story).
It's an opportunity we would regret missing as I am 38 & due to the points siuation it is probably the only chance we will get, but I just feel that I won't ever see her again & it's very hard. I'm only going to get up to see her one more time (we live 150 miles away & I've got so much to do before going).
My brother and sister are encouraging me to go (they are quite a bit older than me & would jump at the chance).
My wife's family are the other way. They really don't want her to go, which is ironic as they were expats in the Middle East & Africa until the wife was about 10 (she was born in Saudi).
I feel guilty as hell about taking her away too, as her parents are fast approaching 80.
Bummer

It's quite funny because I was afraid to tell my family because we are very close and my uncle who gave me away and my wedding just passed away and keeping this from them was killing me. I thought they would be up in arms but the extreme opposite. 150% support.
On the reverse my husbands relationship with his mother has always been strange since he was 4. Now she has turned into the emotion maternal mother than she never has been and putting little doubts into his mind. I would be happy never to see the woman again. We've probably said 50 words to each other in 14 years.
