Didn't know where to post this, but it's to do with our relationship, as well as living abroad, and it's my 1st post, so be gentle on me :)
We now live in Oz, and I really hate it. We've been here 4 6months now, and I really am missing home. My father was ill over Xmas, and I was beside myself with worry, as he had a mini stroke. He had a big one about 12yrs ago, but recovered well. I'm at home with the children and dh wants me 2 be sahm.
Idon't want 2 stay at home as find it boring. I do take the children out swimming classes as they are still young. We go 2 playgroup, and dd1, 2and half goes 2 nursery.
I was homesick over Xmas and New yr, and dh was a complete shit over it. He really didn't want 2 understand. He on the other hand is happy as a pig in shit here. He's met ppl, and his career is going well. I am not happy at all, and am finding it difficult 2 adjust 2 this massive change.
When the opportunity of Oz came up, dh was an absolute pig 2 me, and decided 2 ground me down when I was pg with dd2. I said I didn't want 2 go. He was impossible 2 live with, and put lots of pressure on2 me, til I caved in.
I am on maternity from my job in the Uk, and am not due back til end of June. But, I have 2 give my job up 4 this move, that I hate. I need 2 come back 2 the Uk 2 quit as have a few things that need sorting at work. But am really thinking I'm gonna regret it. As I have the move here 2 Oz.
I miss my family, I miss my friends, I miss my job, and several other things.
I ahve made no friends here at all. I see mums at playgroup, but I haven't made 'friends' with them as such. All I see is my dh family all the time, and I'm fed up with them as one oof his sisters is ignorant.
I told him yesterday that I was homesick, and his reply was 'shall we have egg on toast 4 dinner?'
How do I get back control of my life????
Sorry 4 the long post, and I think I've left stuff out lol!
