All good advice. But all pretty obvious really.
Domestic and alcohol abuse happens everywhere....
Losing any close loved one or friend is never good. If you live next door to each other,does that make it better/easier?
Some on here do tend to talk/write to people looking to emigrate as if they are 12 years old. And then hide under the pre-text of only offering advice or the you don't know unless you have done it syndrome.
News flash.......it will make a nice hole in £20k for most families to even get to OZ,we are adults. Mainly skilled or profesional people,some run a business. So in short,most know the risks,they have done some homework, and want a bit of advice now and again.
Lighten up a bit people. The worse that can happen is you spend a load of cash chasing a dream...if it works out great,if it doesn't nobody died! We would return "home" skint. But at least we had a go!
