Hi Jojo. I can totally understand where you're coming from. My youngest son left home nearly two years ago to travel and teach in China. He did manage to come home for 3 weeks last Sept and we had a wonderful time. We video chat at least two times a week, which is amazing considering the 8 hour time difference. I know that if he does ever come home he will only come bavk temporarily as he wants to travel the globe. I've resigned myself that this is the way it is and I'm so proud of him to have the courage to do, but i also miss him tremendously, unfortunately my husband and myself can't visit him as I'm on medication that is currently banned in China and we wouldn't be able to afford it anyway. We live in a very rural part of Cornwall and there are not many opportunities here for the up and coming. My eldest son also lives in Sheffield so we don't get to see him much either, he is settled with his partner and is unlikely to return to Cornwall, but he is hapoy with his choices and has an amazing job where he is also very happy.
Focus on the fact that your on is happy and making a wonderful lif for he and his family, its hard especially if you're very close, I'm extremely close to my youngest son. Try to push the extended families views away as these negative feelings will hurt you and treasure every moment you get to see and speak to your son. Good luck.
