New start in Ontario?
Hi, I have been a member of this site for a while now, during which time my family and I have been working towards a new life in Calgary.
Well its funny how life has a habit of jumping up and kicking you in the teeth as my wife and I are now separating after 20 years and three kids together. I know now that she never really wanted to move to Canada, and other factors which are too painful to recount here means that it is impossible for me to stay here in the UK. I now have a dilemma, do I go to Canada on my own?, and if so where will I go? The only family that I still have left both live in the States, a brother in Florida and a nephew in Michigan. My thoughts now are that maybe Ontario would be the best place for me, as it would mean that at least I was closer to my family. I am looking for any advice from people who may have been in the same position as me and had to make similar choices. I would be grateful to hear from someone else who has done it on their own and what advice that they may be able to give. It does feel like a huge step to do on my own but its something that I feel I have to do for me. Look forward to hearing from anyone. |

Re: New start in Ontario?
The only advice I can give you is the age old "Never say never" as you say life has a habit of kicking back at you, I would say you just have to stay open minded and the future will make its sell know to you, I divorced my first wife 20yrs ago and thought I had too get away,but I never did, but as one door closed another door opened ! now I am heading for BC with my new wife 20 years later. :fingerscrossed: good luck with the future and remeber to keep looking for those doors.....they do open

Re: New start in Ontario?
My thoughts go out to you at this difficult time......how crap life can be at times....
With three children, I suppose their age would play a large part in whether you feel you'd be able to deal with the long distance between you and them if you did decide to move to Canada. Moving here anyway despite everything could be the best thing to make you jump start a new life for yourself, or it could be the worst thing ever, making you feel incredibly alone and isolated and throw you into depression. Take some time to think it all through carefully and the best of luck. |

The problem is, at the end of the day, it takes a whole village to raise a child.

In seeking happiness for others, you find it for yourself. Move to Canada and start again!
Take care.:)
