I think the title says it all. I've lived abroad, following my husband around, now for 15 years. We are now in our 5th year in our current posting. All my good friends have left, I hate where we live, I hate the weather and I hate paying over the odds for everything. I'm tired of being on my own all day and when my husband is away. My kids are OK, but I think they would be happy anywhere. I did find a job, but the government turned down my employment application. I'm bored!!!!
Anyway, rant over and I apologize for being one ungrateful biatch!
It looks like my husband finally has an avenue to move back home, but it is not going to be until the beginning of 2014. I am very excited but feel that it is too far ahead to make any plans and I am desperately trying NOT to think about it as it is driving me nuts. If it falls through, I know I'll be bitterly disappointed. I know that moving back the UK is going to have challenges of it's own, but I really want to go back and have my own house, garden and family around me.
Anyone else feel like a caged bird. I am so stressed out about living somewhere I HATE that it is making me ill. I am getting to the stage where I cannot be bothered to go out and would just rather stay at home.
How do you cope with the limbo of waiting to leave and how do you keep yourselves busy.
