Hi everybody and happy New Year!
I decided to start this thread as I am a veteran at feeling homesick (10 years out of the UK) and despite a period of slight remission, lately I feel I am right back to square one.
I had been reading another thread in the Overseas category and I can see I'm not the only one finding that homesickness actually gets worse as the years roll by.
Of course, there is little anybody can do or say to change my current situation and yes, I know life could be much worse, but I do think that severe homesickness can be crippling and not many people really understand how it feels. I just think it would be helpful to have a thread where others going through similar feelings can support each other...oh, and let off a bit of steam while we're at it
In my case I think being recently diagnosed with a chronic health condition, Brexit, plus the fact that we will be unable to make our annual trip back "home" this Summer has knocked me for six. I feel totally stuck and as my children get older (plus the fact that my husband doesn't want to go back to the UK) the realisation that I will most likely have to grow old here, is an absolute killer.
Anyone else...?
