My son and dil round today and they mention they are planning to move to NZ.
Both are annoyed about Brexit, like the PM there, and the real incentive is her immediate family have an empty house they can live in. Dil has contributed to the house, paid for a new roof on it etc and it is in a family trust so cannot be sold off. They want children and she doesn’t want to pay rent when they could save money. Things haven’t been great anyone and I feel like I’m going to lose my son and potential grandchildren. We could offer to help but that would mean our comfortable vacation lifestyle would end and that’s not the retirement I had in mind. Feeling like I’ve taken a punch to the stomach. I’m not surprised that dil has had enough of us and would rather return to her home country to bring up her children, but gosh it hurts.
Younger son will never leave thank goodness he will be like us and the generations before, live and die streets from where he was raised.
Anger management!!! Help needed.
