Hello
Im a newbie on the site, so I think I should introduce myself first!
Im Rachel, 23 and have been married to DH who is Turkish for 3 and half years. We have a baby boy, 5 months old, who was born 10 weeks premature in August.
We are living in the UK as we came over to look after my Mum who was suffering with breast cancer. She passed away in November, and as my Dad died in 2001, I have no immediate family of my own.
I love DH so much, and sometimes I think too much really. We are hoping to buy property in Istanbul to rent out, and even though DH had left his parents in charge of looking, DH now feels he should go over Mon-Fri of next week to help them look and to visit his parents.
Now dont get me wrong, I trust him with all my heart, but I cant help feeling resentful at the fact that he can just up and leave and go swanning off to Turkey. I cant go as DS doesnt have his passport, and Im dreading the time when DH goes.
Even I know 4 days is nothing, but I dont drive, have no immediate family, and my friends have full-time jobs! I am a SAHM Mum, and quite often I have the feeling that Im not doing enough with my life. All my friends have graduated, got great jobs etc, and where I have the capability to study etc, it just seems an almost impossible task, and I see my life passing before my eyes!
I just wondered if anybody has any words of advice to help me pick myself up. How will I cope when DH is away, and how can I start getting more out of life?!
