Hi,
Interested to get some views on the importance of having a family home ( ie a home that you own and that your children will look back on in years to come as an anchor of their childhood.) I ask this in the context of having recently moved abroad and left what we thought was the forever house behind. For long and complicated reasons we may not be able to return to that house and not buy another home where we are now- ie we will be long term renters.
My parents still live in the house I grew up in and even though I left home 2- years ago, I still feel such a strong emotional connection to the place.
Obviously it is not the most important part of growing up- but the loss of this ideal is a big issue for me.
Thanks,
B
