Crissy Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Help anyone, me, my husband and daughter first emigtrated to Australia in 2006, since then we have been back and forward 4 times. My daughter now 18 wants to stay in the UK as she is in college and happy, my husband says he dosnt want to go again, but I do, I miss the sunshine and the cleanliness, this place is a dump, when your in Australia you miss England but when your here you realise how bad it is. I now I'm ranting but I dont know what to do, should I give up on the idea of returning, I dontknow if I could go without my daughter even though she will be leaving us and going to uni next year.

ali Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 I think it would be difficult for you to settle if your hubby does not want to go. Your daughter at 18 is also setting her own pathway and to be honest if you've moved 4 times is probably looking for a little bit of stability. what I've found reading the boards over the years is that migration seems much harder when it is only one persons dream within the family. I would have a chat to your family, be prepared that your daughter wants to continue to study - and address if you would be able to leave her behind. Perhaps a move somewhere else within the UK may be more attractive to your hubby? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verystormy Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Have to say i agree with Ali. I think it would be incredibly risky to even consider if not all of the family are keen. I am sure i dont have to tell you how expensive the move is. If you dont like where you are living now, have you considered another area of the UK - there are plenty of nice areas as well as bad and in my opinion that is no different from Oz. You should also consider the economy. All the signs are that the UK economy is improving rapidly while in WA it is starting to have some wobbles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossmoyne Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 I agree with all that Ali, VS and Odies has said. In my 23 years in WA I have met and worked with a large number of migrants from various countries, not just UK. From my observations it appears that if not all members of the family are 100% for the migration journey, it puts a huge strain and stress onto the family unit, and in many instances this can lead to a breakdown in relationships and/or the family returning to their home country. There have been many threads on Pomsinoz forum about this, and I suppose the decision you have to make is between whether you want to keep for family/relationship together, or whether you will migrate on your own. It is a very sad situation that many find themselves in and making a decision must be hard. As others have said, is not a move to another part of UK an option for you? Even just moving a town away or even to another part of a town, can make a huge difference to life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crissy Posted March 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Thanks everyone for your advise, it helps to share your problems, we have talked about moving to a different area in the uk. Will just have to visit Australia on holidays. Once again, Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
