<---- New Girl
 

hello all,

I am living in the wretched state of Alabama.
I tend to get a bit homesick, though Ive been here a decade now.
Haven't been home to visit for six years now.

Was married to an American. Happily divorced. :)

How about you lot??? What's your story??

Re: <---- New Girl
 

Welcome to BE :)

So what's keeping you in Alabama? :D

Re: <---- New Girl
 

three children born here and a clause in the divorce papers keep me here. Makes relocating a bit difficult, for now.

Re: <---- New Girl
 

Poor you. :(
Welcome.

Re: <---- New Girl
 

Aww, thanx mummy in the foothills.

what brings you here, to the US?

Re: <---- New Girl
 

Love. Aren't we stupid :lol:

Re: <---- New Girl
 

Welcome. :)

Not sure what Alabama is like (never been). What is it you don't like..? Or is being stuck there just making it seem worse?

Re: <---- New Girl
 

:welcome:

The only experiance of AL I have is their 'welcome to' sign on the state border having bullet holes in it.

I won't be going in.

Re: <---- New Girl
 

Top Gear had a fun time there I think. :lol:

Re: <---- New Girl
 

Yeah, just ask Clarkson, Hammond and May about Alabama!

We're in neighbouring GA and parts of that can be just as bad.

Welcome to the forum.

Re: <---- New Girl
 

Welcome and you sound a bit stuck. Any chance you can get back for a visit soon?

Re: <---- New Girl
 

My hubby and my oldest daughter and her family all live in Mississippi. A bit better than Alabama but not by a lot.

Re: <---- New Girl
 

Which part of GA Guindalf? I shall be a resident of Commerce (about 90 minutes northeast of ATL) from February.

Re: <---- New Girl
 

Does the clause keep you in the state, or just the country?

That's the worst feeling though, the feeling that you are trapped. I have children here too (one stepson, one daughter that is mine) and I know if my wife and I end up separated I'm basically trapped too. Can't go back home again or I'll never see my daughter.

Re: <---- New Girl
 

I suppose the children are a mixed blessing, wonderful, but they keep you in AL.

I lived in MD when I was married. I'm now divorced and glad that there weren't any children. I now live in MA.......wouldn't live anywhere else in the USA
