Finally after 6 years I am resigned to the fact that we won't be moving back to the UK anytime soon.
A lot of things have changed in Dh's company meaning it is better to stay here.
The kids are enjoying school, learning and have said they never want to leave.
It would be financial suicide to sell up here and move home, where we would never get a mortgage(age), so would have to use all our saving to buy a house ( or rent for years)
It has taken a long time time to finally give up the dream of returning home. I have fought tooth and nail, thinking of every possible scenario that could work, just so we could return home.
In the end I have just had to accept that it is not going to happen.
Too many things are working here to throw away in the hope that it would all work out somehow if we moved.
I have never really settled here and always thought we could return to the UK.
Logically we were always going to stay here, emotionally I never wanted too.
So I have taken the step of removing 'Rightmove' from my browser. I know that may sound really trivial and possibly stupid but it has always been my go to place when things haven't been going well.
Just sharing really, feeling quite sad, and a little brave at the same time.
Feel I can move on and concentrate on the here and now, rather than my imaginary real life if we moved.
