Re: Want to go home
Hi Everyone
What a great site must i say before starting, couldn't believe there is a whole section about reurning to the uk
Well here it goes, we emigrated to Adelaide March 2006, i knew straight away i had made the wrong decision, but i just kept it to myself.
Now over a year later i still feel the same, the only problem is OH & 13yr old daughter love it and i think would not contemplate going home.
I feel so homesick and depressed i don't know what to do, This was meant to be a dream for us both and it has turned into a nightmare for me.
I know my husband will not want to go back to the uk, sometimes i feel like just getting on a plane and leaving. What shall I do????

Hi Sarah
I'm so glad that you spoke to hubby about the way you feel. If nothing else at least it stops you living a lie and suffering alone.
Try not to feel guilty - you can't help how you feel and with the best will in the world sometimes, no matter how hard you try, you can't make yourself love a place even if you want to. Even if you know it's for the best. Even if you know it's going to hurt others by you not loving it.
Someone said on here last year that they compared living in Oz to going out with a fantastic looking guy with loads of money - you want to be able to love them but you just can't. I can't remember who it was who said it but they were spot on!
Good luck - take each day as it comes and be open and honest about your feelings and you will get there
