So sorry for you. Hope everything works out for you. Australia will seem like the last thing on your mind now.

You and your boys - will conquer the world. :thumbup:

Take a hard hearted approach... sell up, take your half..... and walk.

And if Australia is really that important to you... come alone.

Dougie, I'm so sorry to read that. Trying to emigrate is incredibly stressful, perhaps that contributed? Hope you manage to sort things out amicably :(

That was my first thought - I'd imagine that its extremely difficult to leave children behind though, especially children who will be trying to adjust to a disjointed family life as it is.

Dougie - if it's meant to be for you to come here, then it will happen at some point. Trite and cliched I know :(

Sorry to hear about this. This migration malarky sure takes it out on people and in different ways. I hope it all works out for you mate, whatever it is you decide:fingerscrossed:

Chin up fella. Probably all seems like a bit of a mess right now but time will make sense of it all in the end! And Australia isnt going anywhere - you'll get yourself a new dream when the time is right!

Good luck and big hugs!

So sorry things have not worked out and guess you are in the numb stage so when you get some life back come and join us over here. In the meantime keep posting to your friends on here forums can be very handy when things are pear shaped.
