Jealousies
Hi all,
Have any of you had to deal with jealous friends/relatives since your visa grants?

a sister keeps on about how much her daughter (my niece) is getting upset because we are going - this is a sister who never phones or comes over to see us.
other than that no probs - unless they are keeping it to them selves

Re: Jealousies
Ive had a couple of people say 'Oh you wont go to Australia, no way'
We havent got the visas yet, so dont know what they will say once we have.

What about ME !!!!! and my family. They didn't think we would go and now that we are hopefully near to the end of the visa process they have had a shock. The youngest child of a very small family has dared to do her own thing with her own life
I dont think she is fair and infact i was very annoyed with her the next day for pressurising me like that........now it has confirmed that we don't want a leaving party and are goodbyes will be small and individual .....i just could not cope on the night with her crying like that

Are you worried that they could complicate things by anonymous calls/emails to DIMA?....or are they not that bad. I know people who are like this!
Wonder if DIMA would listen anyway?

TC I could hug you. I have had similar thoughts.
It makes me wonder what lengths someone could go to - in order to stop a person going.
That would make interesting debate.
What lengths have people gone to, to stop you emigrating?

Don't mean to worry you...but just because u have your visa doesn't mean that someone couldn't email/phone DIMA and make up some stuff so that they'd have to investigate.
Maybe I'm being paranoid...but having seen the odd person's reactions since I've told them....and this tied with knowing what they are like.....hmmmm...does make me wonder.
I guess DIMA have heard it all before!

I think when children are involved, people can get very manipulative.

maybe you just need to sit back and chill out for a while, let them get over their reactions and jealousies, then when you have your visa you can stick two fingers up at them as you sit in your lovely aussie house, having a glass of aussie wine/beer.

Re: Jealousies
Funny, had a similar little comment today, a certain family member said if anything should happen to my parents, i will not see any of the house funds or posessions etc as i'll not be here, i thought a mixture of jealously and greed on their part, but anyway iam not stressing. Not worrying about it when iam in my new life.

Are you kidding?
That is a terrible thing to say to you.
I absolutely hate, loathe and detest people that fight over someones belongings when they have died. Parasites.
You go girl and enjoy your new life and all that it brings. As you say, greed and jealousy.
