If your husband accepted a position abroad, moved over there with the intention of you moving a couple of months after him but you could not because it was impossible to get your two children into any of the English medium schools due to long waiting lists and he insisted he had to work 12+ hour days to settle in anyway (after a disastrous visit where we saw him for a max of a couple of hours a day). So you returned back to your home country during which time your daughter sat difficult examinations for entry into the top schools in the state, results came back and she received admission into a school which for the past ten years, has been the second top school in the state for final year results across all schools (state and private). You argue with your husband for a month why she should attend this school and he should come back but he sees otherwise. You try to compromise by sending said daughter over for a few months to attend a fairly good school there which she only just received admission to during which time he finally realises that, yes, she is just entering adolescence, and yes, her behaviour reflects that (it's not just because of her crazy mum). You finally prepare yourself to move, you've been taking language lessons etc, you're just about to pull your other child out of school (and they will be missing at least a month), you've told everyone that you are moving, he's paid thousands in school fees/computer etc for daughter over there, you've packed all the bags and then and then 1 and a half weeks before moving, he suddenly says he's not sure, "the decision is not made but I am leaning toward not staying' and maybe we shouldn't move after all and to "think of it as a holiday"?
Sorry if it's all a rambling mess but it's absolutely doing my head in tonight.
