DH, DS and I are moving to NZ in January 2011. My mum is finding it very hard to come to terms with, bursts into tears whenever I talk to her. I was dreading telling her we were definitely going - I first told her about 18 months ago that it might happen, but I think she has tried not to think about it.
I feel like a complete cow that I have upset her so much. I've no idea what my dad thinks as mum is very dominant and is always the one on the phone, but I expect he is a wee bit upset too. Half of me says to scrap the plans to go, but I can't make all my life decisions just to make my mum happy.
Anyone else had problems with their parents coming to terms with a move overseas? Would welcome any advice at all on how to deal with this!
