well i told my mum and i suppose its the straw that broke the camels back - she rushed out the room crying and soooooooo soooooo sad saying she felt so alone and depressed and she can't understand why we are depriving our son of the bright future he has in the UK (he has plans to be a doctor......) naturally those who know me know that i am very good at putting my foot in my mouth......so i say "well he may not be a doctor and end up as a beach bum" OMG you thought the flooding couldn't get any worse in the UK.
I just feel dead inside - i love my mum desperately but i'm not sure what she wants me to say.........

"Ok we won't go"
"tell you what he can stay here"

she is now looking at me with those tearful eyes and using her inahler as i have made he chest wheeze.
add to that the family party which started out as just the 4 of us for my daughters birthday today is now numbering 20...............
sorry to moan, but i know you lot will not mind me getting it off my chest but still
i just feel so evil and dead inside....................

PS my dads got prostrate cancer and he would hate think I missed an oppertunity of a life time because off him i fact he was the 1st to wish me all the luck in the world. thats my story so far .Maybe they're trying to get rid off me.:unsure:

good luck the dooners

You Dooners are very brave in the circumstances. What a great guy your dad is to be so supportive. I'm apprehensive because my mothers in her 70s. I was going to tell her last week, but the car broke down and she had to go out before I arrived. I wonder if I should tell her over the phone? It doesn't seem right somehow. Q

The guilt thing is awful isn't it. Its understandable as I'm sure none of our parents want us to go to the other side of the world. We are constantly being made to feel guilty and it is really hard to deal with sometimes.

Your son will have a bright future in Australia. If he wants to be a doctor then he'll be able to do it over there too.

Lots of love

well mum is getting better, we are going out today to buy skpe phones. she says she will always be sad about us going as we all play such a large part in her life but she understands that its something we feel we want to try.
I've told her that it may not be for ever, you never know how things will turn out, but that if we don't try it we will always wonder.
so at the mo there are no tears just lots of talking:thumbsup:
oh and the family party went OK - we even managed to have a joke about "this time next year...."
what a difference a week makes
