Welcome Geally
I can really relate to your feelings! I was in virtually the same situation as you a year and a half ago. All of those posts were lost when the site changed servers. I can tell you that there are others here who have gone through the same situation too. In the end, my son who was 14, decided to stay with his dad in the States, and my daughter, who was 15, decided to move with me to England. Fast forward to now. . . Jason would have never changed his mind to stay in the states, even though he does not like living with his dad (it’s not like living with mom he says). He enjoys England, but would not want to live here. On the flip side of the coin is Jess, she would rather die than leave the UK – she loves it that much! In fact, my husband and I will be returning to the states in early summer. Once Jess is finished with college at the end of June, she will come back to the states for a two-week visit and return to Scotland for college! Kind of complicated – but you get the picture. I have raised an extremely independent young lady, who is fairly well adjusted and has set goals for herself. It would be H E double hockey sticks to get her to go back to the states now! Anyway, if you have specific questions, I encourage you to ask!
Good luck!
