Re: Home Sick, west coast USA
I came to the USA in the 1990's as military wife. I have nice life, and am fortunate to have found quite the most wonderful man in my second husband. My eldest child is leaving soon to continue her education in Europe for up to four years. Like many people of my age I've got a number of years in with my career, we've also been effected by the decline in the economy, and it's much harder to afford a trip home. My circumstances must sound very familiar to a lot of you here.
I'm homesick. I've never come to terms with having left England. I'm confused and miserable. I really feel like I want to move back to England. Doing so would mean leaving my husband behind. Leaving here is not an option for him.
At the very least I want a trip home but it simply isn't something I can afford. More and more I have to fight not just giving up everything and everybody that I have here and just go home. I just don't know what to do. Any ideas.
P.S. I'm sorry to sound so sorry for myself, I'm just out of ideas.

I hope you cheer up soon.
