my head is now officialy in a mess

Chin up fella

I understand slightly how you must feel. My daughter (15) leaves Scotland for good tomorrow to live in Paignton with my friend until I can sell flat and find a new house in Hants to be our new family home. Then when I leave I will be upset about leaving my mum and dad and my dad is not at all well and I worry about my mum. family eh - who would have them

Good luck to him - NZ is a fantastic place and I expect that he'll be really happy there. I'd love to live there, but I couldn't persuade Mrs Wyrdness to move away from her family.

With t'internet, you'll be able to keep in touch with him really easily, something that wouldn't have been possible when I was 17. You could both get webcams so that you can still see each other regularly.

Feel for you mate, I really do.

In January I saw my then girlfriend off at Gatwick as she set of for Oz on a four year contract. She was the only girl I'd considered asking to marry me, since I divorced in 1995. I had to stop just off the M25 in floods of tears on the way home.

Big hugs from me.
I have lived away from my family and it only makes you closer. Hope that helps.
If not..have a beer! but not too many.

We are all here for you.
