Both our kids live a 9 and11 hour flight from us. Our daughter keeps in touch three or four times a week our son the odd video every few weeks. We were such a close family until our daughter emigrated and her brother followed. Does anyone else have all their offspring so far away? If so any tips on coping with not seeing them?

I’ve just realised this is a really old thread so my post is probably redundant ?

Oh well- maybe it is worth reviving because there are a lot of people in that position.

I’ve just private messaged you Goldbeater and as there are many parents with family far away let’s hope it will be worth reviving this thread

Goldbeater I'd read the thread through anyway as all are still relevant.
I try to remember my new life and the generosity of my parents in never trying to make me feel guilty for pursuing a new life.

We did come "home" to the UK.... and so has one of my daughters.
Our son has moved and is now in California so is 3 hours closer. But visiting is still very expensive so we have only done that once.
